Sesame Ginger Chicken – Doubled as an Appetizer or Entree
This is one of my favorite recipes whether it is for a party (huge hit) or an entree for a family dinner. This is a LO CAL and LOW FAT dinner and it tastes fabulous. Use low sodium soy sauce for a more healthy choice. I took part of this recipe from “Greatest Ever Quick and Easy Recipes”
Ingredients:
- 1lb. boneless chicken breasts
Marinade:
-1 garlic clove, minced -1 shallot, chopped very finely
-2 tbsp. sesame oil -1 tbsp fish sauce or light soy sauce
- finely grated peel of 1 lime or 1/2 lemon -2 tbsp lime juice or lemon juice
- 1 tsp sesame seeds - 2tsp finely grated fresh gingeroot
-2tsp chopped fresh mint – salt and pepper
PRE-SOAKED wooden satay sticks if you are doing this for an appetizer
Directions:
1. Stir all Marinade Ingredients into a non-metallic bowl
2. Slice chicken breasts into chunks and cut any excess fat or skin off
3. Stir chicken and marinade together and chill for 2 hours for the flavors to sink in.
4. Skewer the chicken onto the bamboo sticks (make sure the stick are still drench otherwise they will burn). For an entree place on broiler pan and turn frequently or cook in a wok on medium high heat.
5. Cook in a medium-hot broiler for 8-10 min. and turn frequently.
6. Serve on platter with or without a dipping sauce as an appetizer or serve with Brown Rice as an entree
ENJOY!!
