Recipe Introduction


Sauteing the chicken breasts in ground ginger gives this dish a pungent ginger flavor.





List of Ingredients



• 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
  
• 2 tsp ground ginger
  
• 1/3 cup water
  
• 1/2 tsp grated lemon peel
  
• 3 T lemon juice
  
• 3 T honey
  
• 2 T orange juice
  
• 2 tsp cornstarch
  






Instructions



1. Rub chicken breast halves with ginger. Spray large nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Heat over medium high heat until hot. Add chicken; cover and cook 8 to 12 minutes or until chicken is fork-tender and juices run clear, turning once during cooking.
   
2. Meanwhile, in small microwave-safe bowl, combine all remaining ingredients; blend well. Microwave on HIGH for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until sauce has thickened.
   
3. To serve, spoon sauce over chicken. If desired, serve with lemon slices and green onions.

NOTE: Leftover Lemon-Ginger Chicken makes an excellent cold Asian salad. Slice the chicken and serve it over mixed greens; make a dressing using rice vinegar, soy sauce, minced green onions, sesame oil and a pinch of sugar. Sprinkle toasted sesame seed over the salad.
