Honey Lemon Ginger Glazed Chicken

I’ve been preparing a lot of chicken dishes lately, and it’s because it’s an easy dinner for me to prepare after work.  Since John.e and McKenna are vegetarians, I often prepare dinners for the both of them and forget about my own dinner preferences.  Since chicken is so easy to prepare, it has become almost a weeknight regular feature.

For them, it’s usually some variety of brown rice, steamed broccoli, an easy pasta, or a vegetarian casserole.  Oftentimes, I’ll make sandwiches or grilled cheese.  Very seldom do I make salads, because to be perfectly honest, I have no desire to wash and cut seven or eight different vegetables after a long day at work. 

Ingredients

• 4 whole chicken breasts, skinless and boneless
• 5 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon vinegar
• 1 tablespoon corn starch
• 2/3 cup honey
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons parsley, fresh, chopped for garnish (optional)
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
• 1-2 whole Thai red chilies, thinly sliced, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. In a large skillet, over medium heat, add a little olive oil and saute the chicken until cooked through. Keeping the chicken pieces in a single layer and not overcrowding the pan is a great way to cook the chicken quickly and evenly.  This should take about 5-7 minutes total. Season with salt and pepper.
2. While the chicken is cooking, whisk together all other ingredients until well combined.
3. Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set aside.
