Hey guys,
I found this recipe (well, a similar one) a few weeks ago. After much tweaking and adding/subtracting ingredients, I've come up with a really flavorful recipe.
**Next time I make this, I'm going to cook a chili pepper or two with the chicken and sprinkle a little toasted coconut over the finished product for a little extra sweet and spicy flavor!
My spice measurements are not exact because I never measure when I cook. Just make sure each piece of chicken is coated with some of each spice. I always go easy on the salt and heavier on everything else.
Ginger-Lime Glazed Chicken
1 pack boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 5 cutlets)
zest of 1 lime
juice of 2 limes
2 tbl freshly grated ginger
salt and pepper
garlic powder
paprika
blackening seasoning
olive oil or sesame oil
honey (or agave nectar)
1. Chop chicken cutlets into bite-size cubes and place in a bowl.
2. add lime zest, lime juice, and ginger. add a little salt, pepper, paprika, and maybe a teaspoon or two of garlic powder, all to taste. Blackening seasonig is not necessary, but gives the chicken a great color when cooked. Add enough to give the meat a light coating. Mix well. Marinate 20 minutes.
3. Drain excess lime juice from chicken, and dump chicken mixture into a hot pan drizzled with olive or sesame oil. Cook on med to med-high heat.
4. Cook until almost done, then generously drizzle with honey. Cook for one more minute on med-low heat, taking care not to burn the honey. Chicken should have a nice golden-brown color.
I like it served with mashed potatoes- homemade ones, not that crap from a box.
