What I made for dinner last night
Sep. 17th, 2009 09:56 amGinger Sticky Chicken (from the Harmony Elementary School cookbook, pg 60, submitted by Avery Willman)
Ingredients:
4-5 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup vinegar
1 tsp. ginger
1 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
2 tsp. sugar
Directions: Place chicken in a heavy skillet; combine the above ingredients and pour over the chicken. Cover and cook on medium heat for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, turning the chicken ever so often
My variants and review: I used balsamic vinegar, since I had that and malt in the house, and it was really delicious. I'd totally recommend using balsamic or rice wine vinegar for extra kick. The ginger (powdered) I had in the house wasn't very fresh, and I think when I make this again I'd add some fresh raw ginger for extra flavor. I think next time I'd also consider trading at least some of the garlic powder out for fresh minced garlic. I think subbing honey for the sugar would also be delicious. I served this over a cup of white rice (again, what I had in the house) with a side of asparagus, and Smog and I both devoured our portions and were comfortably full, so serves two. Super easy, really pretty healthy (no fats or oils needed at all!) and very delicious. This recipe is a keeper!
