Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For this recipe, boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts work best. They will cook evenly and stay juicy.
  • Use fresh plums: Fresh plums add a sweet and tangy flavor to the dish. If you can't find fresh plums, you can use frozen or dried plums, but the flavor will not be as good.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Use a good quality ginger: Fresh ginger is best, but you can also use ground ginger. If using ground ginger, use about 1/2 teaspoon.
  • Add the plums at the end: The plums will cook quickly, so add them to the pan just before serving. This will prevent them from becoming mushy.

Conclusion:

Plum and ginger chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of sweet plums and spicy ginger creates a flavorful and unique dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. This recipe is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. Simply shred the chicken and add it to the sauce. Serve over rice or noodles.
