Ginger Lemon Marinade Recipes

HONEY LEMON GINGER GLAZED CHICKEN

Steps:

• 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.
• While the chicken is cooking, whisk together all other ingredients until well combined.
• Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set aside.
• Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet, turn the heat to high, and whisk sauce while cooking until thickened. (The sauce should thicken to the consistency of cold maple syrup.)
• Add the chicken back to the skillet and stir to combine and coat with the sauce. Keeping the heat high, and the chicken in a single layer - at least as much as possible - stir the chicken, cooking on all sides. The sauce will stick to the chicken and caramelize. This will take about 3-4 minutes.
• Remove from skillet to serving plate. Garnish with sesame seeds, and freshly sliced Thai chilies. (Optional) Serve immediately.
