Teriyaki Ginger Chicken
Serves 3
These tasty chicken pieces are so tender and full of flavor. They can be cooked outside on the grill, inside on a kitchen grill or even in a stove-top pan. Try serving them with roasted, diced sweet potatoes and stir-fried vegetables. If you have leftovers, these work great in an Asian-style wrap for the next day’s lunch.
Ingredients:
18 ounces chicken tenders pounded lightly to flatten
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, peeled and minced
2 green onions, finely chopped
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce*
1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
1 teaspoon honey
1 bunch fresh cilantro (optional)
Combine all ingredients except chicken in a small bowl. Pour the mixture over the chicken. Turn the pieces to coat evenly, cover and place in refrigerator for a minimum of three hours, but preferably overnight.
Preheat grill to high. Grill chicken on one side about 5 minutes, turn and cook on the second side about 3 more minutes. Do not overcook.
Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
* If making gluten-free, use tamari sauce.
