While searching for a Delicious Chicken Recipe, I came across Sunshine and Sippy Cup’s Healthier Kickin’ Chicken Recipe. I modified it slightly according to what I had in my kitchen and made it last night for dinner. It was absolutely DELICIOUS and will definitely be added to our regular dinner routine.

My weakness is fried chicken. I try not to make it too often.. or any fried foods for that matter. But I’m definitely going to try this! Maybe I won’t feel as guilty when I make it now ๐
If you try it, let me know what you think!
Absolutely!
that’s an interesting twist on an old classic
It definitely is!
I love fried chicken .. love this idea. Thank you so much for sharing, I will be sharing it with my Mom as well!
Let me know how you like it, Darlene!
I wanted to tell you I haven’t tried it yet, but my Mom did. She’s diabetic/high everything pretty much… she loves it and said what a nice change. Her husband took leftovers to work ๐
YAY! That just made my day – thank you SO much for letting me know, Darlene!
Thanks for sharing, we love Fried Chicken but never have it because it is not good for us. Will have to try this recipe out!
Judy – be sure to come back and let me know what you think!
Looks delicious and healthy!
This looks super yummy! I dont make fried chicken because of how unhealthy it is, this owuld be great to try
This looks delicious. I love crispy fried chicken but never make It because of the fat content. This looks much healthier.
This wasn’t super crispy, BUT it was SO good!
i do love a good fried chicken myself
I will give this a try, thanks!
Have always been wary of fried anything because of the oil and fat, but this looks like a nice alternative
I had not heard of avocado oil before this. Where do you find it?
Heidi – I buy mine at Costco usually, but I actually just ran out and found some at Loblaws with the regular oils.
wow this looks and sounds delicious! will definitely give it a try. thank you for the recipe!
just don’t load up on carbs otherwise you defeat the purpose of healthy eating
This sounds pretty good, lately I’ve been using Lemon Herb seasoning on my chicken, it’s soo good
This looks good! I’ve been looking for new marinades for chicken. I’ve never tried avocado oil before. What is the benefit of using it over another type? I get so confused with all the different types of cooking oils!!
I believe Avacado oil has a higher smoke point ๐ All oils have different health benefits ๐

the broccoli is a good touch
MMmm….broccoli….
That looks really good. Thank you for sharing. I’ll have to try it next time we have chicken for dinner.
Let me know what you think of it when you try it!
I usually just grill my chicken breasts on a Foreman grill
Looks delicious! I wonder how it would work if I roll it in crumbs (bread crumbs or another variation) to add a bit of crispiness without added fat?
Yes, perhaps! Let me know if you give it a try!
I love chicken, any recipe that cuts down on the added fat is for me
And this one is very flavourful!
Sounds like something all of us will eat-and love!
Thanks for the great recipes, eventually I will try them all
My family loves fried chicken but fried…not so healthy….but I will try this thanks
Great idea! Definitely trying this recipe!
Yummy sound delish a must try thanks for sharing , i really love chicken ๐
