Lemon-Ginger Chicken

Pillsbury Best of Italian Mexican & Chinese Cooking, p. 75

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves

2 teaspoons ginger

1/3 cup water

½ teaspoon grated lemon peel

3 tablespoons lemon juice

3 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons orange juice

2 teaspoons cornstarch

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.

Meanwhile, in small microwave-safe bowl, combine all remaining ingredients; blend well. Microwave on HIGH for 1 ½ to 2 minutes or until sauce has thickened.

To serve, spoon sauce over chicken. 

Get a nice smoky sear on that chicken.

If desired, serve with lemon slices and green onions.

Lemon slices were enough garnish for me - pretty and flavorful. 

My Rating: 4/5 "There are so many nice things in this sauce, so of course it's going to be pleasant! Honestly I enjoyed the leftovers more than I did the initial serving - I think the flavors had more time to mingle and sink into the chicken that way. But either way, it's a mild, happy main dish if you're feeling like poultry."
