Garlicy Gingery Chicken

Garlicy Gingery Chicken

               Ingredients

• 2-4 organic chicken breasts
• 1Tbs Toasted Sesame Oil
• 3-4 large cloves pressed garlic
• 1-3 tsp fresh grated ginger ( I also throw in a spoonful of pickled ginger from a jar for  an extra kick)
• 1/4 cup Reduced Sodium Tamari ( Soy Sauce) I use Gluten Free tamari
• 5-6 Tbs Honey
• 1-2 Tsp of red pepper flakes (optional)

splash of  low sodium chicken broth about 2 TBS or so .***This can be omitted, and will not change to way it taste.  I try to use as little sodium as possible and the Tamari has quite a bit so I use a bit of broth and less tamari.

***if you want extra sauce for rice then double the recipe, or if you have more chicken

Combine all ingredients in a dish, place chicken in the marinade and let it sit in refrigerator for a few hours    If you don't have time to let it sit then just bake it  covered at 350º for 30+ minutes till juices run clear.  All depends on the thickness of your chicken.  I use smaller breasts so my cooking time may be shorter.

***Mix the sauce together before you add the chicken and taste it to see if you like the sweetness and taste.           Adjust as necessary.


I serve it up with steamed green beans and carrots and a few slices of avocado.  I also put a few slivers of pickled ginger on top.

Brown rice would be a great option to pour extra sauce on with the chicken.
