YOUR LOW CARB RECIPE FOR TODAY!--CHINESE 5 SPICE CHICKEN

Ingredients:

3 lbs chicken (any combination -- ideal if they are similar sizes -- works great for thighs, but I've done a variety)
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup oil, such as light olive oil or peanut oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder (or two garlic cloves, pressed)
2 teaspoons five spice powder
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon dry sherry
Preparation:

Combine all ingredients except chicken, and use as marinade. Then, marinate chicken at least an hour, but can marinate overnight. Bake in a 375 F. oven (baste once or twice), or grill, for about 45 minutes or until done.

2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger (see tip)
2 Tablespoons soy sauce

1 teaspoon equivalent artificial sweetener
3 Tablespoons toasted slivered almonds
Preparation:

1) Lightly steam broccoli, or microwave in a covered container in small amount of water for 3 minutes.

2) While that is happening, if the almonds aren't toasted, you can do that in the skillet you're going to use for the broccoli - either in a dry pan or a small amount of oil.

3) Combine soy sauce, sesame oil, sherry, and sweetener.

4) Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet.

5) Stir-fry the broccoli in hot oil for 1-2 minutes, until almost tender. Push to the edges of the pan.

7) Put sauce in the pan, and toss all ingredients together. Top with almonds.
