Title: Oriental Chicken -- Microwave - 6 Points
Categories: Janestarr, Reg 6, Success, April 99
Yield: 4 servings

4 Skinless boneless chicken
-breast halves
1 tb Cornstarch
2 tb Brown sugar
1/4 ts Oregano
1 Clove garlic; or 1 tsp.of
-jar kind
2 tb Peanut oil
1/4 c Soy sauce; low sodium
3/4 c Apple juice; or dry Sherry
-or apple juice
1 c Raisins; optional

1). Pierce chicken with cooking fork. Arrange around the edges of a covered
3-Quart casserole dish.

2). In a small bowl or 2 cup measure, combine wine or juice, soy sauce,
garlic, oil, cornstarch, brown sugar, oregano, & raisins. Pour over
chicken.

3). Cover and microwave on high for 11 to 13 minutes. Let sit for 5 to 10
minutes.

Serves 4.

This is a great dish for those hot, rainy summer nights -- too hot to use
the stove and too wet to grill I usually serve this over some quick-cooking
brown or white rice. Per MasterCook using wine and raisins:

269 cals, 7.9 g fat (29.7%CFF), 0.7g fiber= 6 points Points remain the same
using apple juice or dry sherry. Omitting raisins reduces the points to 5 (
even though the fiber goes down from .7 to .2 g per serving, the calories
go down to 232.3) Switching from wine to apple juice reduces the calories
to 222.8 when omitting the raisins -- but the points remain at 5.
