“Our ginger chicken recipe is the perfect replacement for the more expensive (and often less healthy) Chinese take away. It is simple to prepare and guaranteed to get a thumbs up from all the family.”
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp olive oil or coconut oil
- 4 boneless chicken breasts (skin removed)
- 1 tbsp clear honey
- 1 tbsp tamari (soy sauce)
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 2 cm piece of fresh ginger, finely chopped
- Juice and zest of one large orange
- 225 g button mushrooms, washed and halved
- 2 bunches spring onions, trimmed and halved
- 100 g broccoli, cut into florets
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 190C. Heat the oil in a frying pan and pan fry the chicken for a couple of minutes, then transfer to an over-proof dish.
- Mix together the honey, tamari, garlic, ginger, orange zest and juice, and pour over the chicken.
- Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, and bake for 10 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms, spring onions and broccoli florets, baste and replace in oven for a further 15 minutes or until cooked through.
- Serve with cauliflower rice or 40 g cooked brown basmati rice.
