Ingredients:

• Cooking spray oil

• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

• 4 cups Rice Krispies cereal

• 1/2 teaspoon orange zest

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 2 egg whites

• 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce

• 680 gr boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into 18 strips

• 1/2 cup sugar-free orange marmalade

• 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Preparation:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees, then place a wire rack tray over a baking sheet and spray with cooking spray.

• In a skillet over medium heat, place the sesame seeds and toast until they turn light brown, approximately 5 minutes, set aside.

• Place the cereal in a ziploc bag, close it and use a masher or can to crush the cereal slightly (it should not be completely crushed). Transfer to a plate and combine with the sesame seeds, orange zest and season with salt and pepper.

• In another plate combine the egg whites with 1 tablespoon of teriyaki sauce.

• Dip each chicken strip in the egg (coat well) and then in the cereal, pressing so it adheres well. Place on the previously prepared tray and lightly spray the chicken with cooking spray. Cook until golden and the chicken is cooked through, approximately 18 to 20 minutes.

• For the sauce: in a small pot over medium heat place the marmalade, the remaining tablespoon of teriyaki sauce and the ginger. Melt and mix well. Remove from heat and add the lemon juice, stir.

• Serve
