GINGER ME UP CHICKEN! LOW FAT HONEY & GINGER CHICKEN BREASTS



Ginger Me up Chicken! Low Fat Honey & Ginger Chicken Breasts image

This is a recipe I have been making for yonks now.....I first devised it about 18 years ago, when I was following Rosemary Connely's "Hip & Thigh Diet"!! It's a very easy low fat chicken dish, which can be pan fried or baked in the oven - I prefer the latter method, it's much easier! Serve it with a medley of gently steamed vegetables, rice or pasta. (NB: PLEASE note, one of the reviewers has stated that she cooked this in a crockpot!! I would NEVER suggest cooking this recipe in a crockpot, that's why it is NOT mentioned as a cooking method ANYWHERE in the recipe - only pan-fried or oven baked. Thanks! )

4 tablespoons water
2 -3 teaspoons ground ginger or 1 tablespoon freshly ground gingerroot
2 -4 garlic cloves, peeled & crushed

  • Place the chicken breasts into the baking dish.
  • Mix the honey, mustard, water, ginger & crushed garlic (and cayenne pepper if using) together in a measuring jug.
