Hope everyone had a super fun Halloween. We sure did. Today I am gonna bring you savory because we probably had enough sweet the past few days, weeks & month.
This chicken was awesome! My kids loved it and that made me very happy. I say make a big batch so you have plenty on hand for lunch, dinner, leftovers and lunch boxes. It is delish with a side salad, steamed or roasted veggies, brown rice or pasta.
This is a simple, quick and easy lean protein recipe that has lots of flavor. It will keep you away from take out Chinese food that is loaded with all kinds of mysterious ingredients. Real Food Fast. Not Fast Food here at MarlaMeridith.com. I’ve got your back guys.
I always use organic chicken breast and trim off any excess fat. You can keep the interest in chicken if you change up how you cut it up and style it. Sometimes I cube it, other times I grill up the whole breast and in this case I made strips. Looking at these photos I am thinking these would have made great skewers too.
I used gluten free brown rice bread crumbs to coat this chicken. It is very fine & not like the coarser, traditional bread crumbs most of us are used to. This has a delicate texture that adds a nuttiness to the overall flavor. I always like to use ingredients that add to the taste & nutrition rather than just being something to use for the sake of it, such as refined white flour.
What is your favorite kind of Asian cooking? Do you love Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Malaysian, Korean? (I dig all of it!)

Variations
- Serve over your favorite pasta or soba noodles.
- Serve over a green salad. Mandarin orange slices & slivered almonds or peanuts would be a great addition.
- Make this recipe into skewers. That would make it great for a party appetizer.

Wow, how gorgeous are these chicken strips?! Forget take out, I am staying in and enjoying this beautiful recipe 🙂 Love it! Have a great Monday friend! …..Stumbled too 🙂
I love the Asian twist!
You are so far beyond my realm of capabilities girl.. this looks so delicious and beautiful I would be terrified to try it! Well done! (you know I had to stumble it!)
These look delicious!
A wonderful recipe! Those strips look very yummy.
Cheers,
Rosa
These look super tasty, Marla! Definitely better than any takeout I’ve ever seen. 🙂 My favorite kind of Asian food is by far Indian…loooooove it!
Marla,
Looks delicious and flavorful!!! I wouldn’t even notice it was a healthy chicken breast. 🙂
Kim
holy foodie heaven! these look SO amazing!
Those look delicious!!
This looks like a delicious dinner idea, Marla. Thanks for the wonderful recipe!
I’d definitely make a big batch of these. They could be used in so many different dishes, thanks Marla! Wonderful pictures as always 🙂
Yummy! The whole family will love this! Beautiful photos!
The julienned vegetables look divine, and the chicken couldn’t help but be! I just did 60 retro cordon bleu for my parent’s 60th anniversary next weekend (they are rolled and in the freezer awaiting step two: coating and baking… but I therefore have 60 tenders in freezer bags awaiting a recipe just like this!
🙂
YUM

Teresa: “Shine” such a pretty word 🙂 Thanks for showering me and my bloggy with sweet sentiments & kindness!
Susan: Sure, i’ll make this for you & i’ll accept the take out – – I need a break! LOL.
Angie: I know, double rice bowls are in order.
A great Asian stir-fry! I would need one more bowl of rice.
The brown rice breadcrumbs are a great idea. Where did you find those? This is exactly the kind of dish I need to get back to healthier eating after all of those Halloween treats.
oooh these look delightful! I bet they would make a perfect Spring dinner over here in Australia 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Love the Asian twist! These sound (and look) soooo great! Great blog!

Delightful Bitefuls
Bookmarking! 🙂
I love how easy this looks!
What an appetizing dish you concocted…love Asian food.
Japanese Sushi is a favourite of mine…however, Chinese Schezuan is what I usually crave…especially peanut butter dumplings ;o)
Marla…thanks for your thoughtful comments on my last post…very appreciated.
Have a great day and flavourful wishes,
Claudia
Marla,
These look wonderful and a nice change from the heavier foods that characterize this time of year!!
Also intrigued by the the brown rice crumbs!!
Nancy: The brown rice crumbs are a nice change from what we are all used to when we think of bread crumbs. I am also happy that we can give our gluten free friends a nice breaded option. It is nice to have a diversion from the heavier stuff. I have that coming soon though!
Claudia: Sushi is my favorite too. I could eat it every day. The peanut butter dumplings you mention sound amazing. I have never tried anything like that. Must find them some day – or make my own. Sorry to hear you have been stressed, your blog friends are here for you girl.
Lisa: Yes, perfect for spring cooking in Australia!
Nothing like some yummy chicken strips, they are so versatile and these look amazing.
This looks so fresh and healthy. Just what we all need right now!!!
Asian chicken salads absolutely never fail to please. The flavors of sesame and ginger just appeal to me so much! Great dish.
My favorite Asian food to eat is Thai…love those sweet/salty/savory combinations!
Love the brown rice bread crumbs. Where did you find that? This is such a great recipe. I love how healthy it is.
These sound really flavorful. I had bought some brown rice crumbs but haven’t tried them yet, so this is great – a new recipe to try!
Marla! Gorgeous photos, hun! I am blown away…they look too good to eat! Well, almost anyways…that chicken looks amazing!! 🙂
I did get your comment the other day — it had gone into my spam 🙁 Glad I check that regularily, I don’t know why some comments end up in there!
Nicole: So happy to know that you checked your spam folder. So many of my comments have been put in bloggers spam folder because of an Akismet filter glitch. We are on it over here & trying to resolve asap! Thanks for your sweet compliments.
Jeanette & Dara: I found the brown rice bread crumbs at a local store called Mother’s Market.
Whole Foods might carry them, but I am not positive. You can also find them at Amazon.com.
What a fantastic recipe. And as always…. lovely photos!
Definitely making these tonight..no take out for us!!
This photo is beautiful and the flavor is fantastic!
Marla, this is my kind of meal. Easy and healthy are two of my favorite things to aim for when planning. Fish sauce is one of my favorite ingredients too. Your presentation is fabulous on spinach with coleslaw. I’m not familiar with the brown rice bread crumbs, so I’ll keep an eye out for it at our store.
Thank you for your lovely comment on my blog and for following along. I really appreciate it and it’s very nice to have a chance to get to know you. Your blog is fabulous and your photos are outstanding. I’m having a great time looking around and getting hungry. (smile) You have a great artistic eye with your photos. Lots and lots to learn here. Enjoy your weekend.
Sam
Sam: I am so happy that you stopped by and checked out some of my recipes. Easy is essential over here so is letting whole food ingredients speak for themselves. I look forward to getting to know you better around the web 🙂
These look yummy! My daughter will love them.
Thanks for the inspiration. I made this for my family last night and it went down a treat. Only addition I made was that I added lightly roasted pumpkin seeds as a sprinkling over the top. They love these and they are so good for them as well. These strips are on my weekly menu for sure.
