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

Steps:
- Put 2 chicken breasts, skin side up in a small baking dish and season.
- Squeeze the lemon into a bowl and stir in the honey and soy sauce. Spoon the mixture over the chicken, then tuck the squeezed-out half of lemon between the pieces (this will moisten and add flavour to the chicken).
- Roast the chicken breasts in a baking dish, uncovered, for 30-35 minutes in a preheated oven (190C/gas 5/fan oven 170C). Cook until done and richly glazed, basting with the juices at least twice. To check if they are done, prod the chicken with your finger - if it's still a bit soft, give it a bit longer.
- Serve with salad and potatoes roasted with herbs and garlic.
Tips:
- To achieve crispy and evenly browned chicken, ensure the skillet is sufficiently hot before adding the chicken breasts. Furthermore, refrain from overcrowding the pan; cook the chicken in batches if necessary to prevent steaming.
- Basting the chicken with the honey garlic sauce throughout the cooking process infuses it with delectable flavor. Basting also prevents the chicken from drying out, resulting in succulent and tender meat.
- The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts. To ensure they are cooked thoroughly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
- Feel free to adjust the amount of honey and garlic to suit your taste preferences. If you prefer a sweeter sauce, add more honey. If you enjoy a more pronounced garlic flavor, add more garlic.
- For a healthier version of this dish, consider using a non-stick skillet and cooking spray instead of butter. Additionally, you can opt for low-sodium soy sauce or tamari to reduce the sodium content.
Conclusion:
Honey garlic chicken is a versatile and flavorful dish that can be enjoyed as a main course with a variety of sides, such as rice, noodles, or vegetables. It is also an excellent option for meal prep, as it reheats well and can be easily incorporated into salads, sandwiches, or wraps. Whether you are a seasoned cook or a beginner, this recipe is sure to impress your taste buds and become a favorite in your kitchen.
