Preheat
the oven to 425 degrees. Spread the oil on the bottom of a
baking pan. Place the sliced onions and apples in the pan,
and mix to coat with the oil. Place the pan in the oven
while you prepare the chicken.
Place the latke mix
on a plate, and the egg substitute or egg and egg whites
in a shallow bowl. Dip the chicken pieces in the egg, then
roll in the latke mix.
Remove the baking pan
from the oven, and arrange the coated chicken pieces on
top of the onion mixture.
Mix the chicken broth, orange juice and honey
together. Pour approximately 1/3 of this mixture in the
pan around the chicken. Reduce oven temperature to 350
degrees, and bake, uncovered for 30 minutes.
Pour the remaining
mixture over and around the chicken. Continue baking
another 45 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly cooked.

 From
Festivals of Lite by Gail Ashkanazi-Hankin. (Pelican,
1999) |
In the early 1980s, when
Americans started counting fat grams and watching
cholesterol intake, Gail Ashkanazi-Hankin of Denver,
Colorado decided to continue that healthful vigil
during Passover. After all, it seemed
counterproductive to work hard at preparing tasty yet
healthy meals all year long, then eat foods laden with
oil, schmaltz, and whole eggs during Passover.
For centuries, it was believed that these ingredients
were necessary to provide the proper texture and
flavor in foods that could not contain any leavening
ingredients because of the laws of Passover.
Ashkanazi-Hankin utilized her recipe adapting skills
to debunk this long-held belief. The result is
Passover Lite, a cookbook just released by Pelican
Publishing Co.
Gail Ashkanazi-Hankin is also an artist, and she
illustrated her cookbook with original line-art
drawings throughout the text. She used watercolor and
colored pencil to create the book jacket art.
The author is a St.Louis native. She graduated from
Parkway Central High School, and was confirmed at
Shaare Emeth. She attended Fontbonne College and
received a bachelor of fine arts degree from the
Kansas City Art Institute. |
