Orange Ginger Chicken

I’ve got a quick and easy recipe for you today!  Flavorful Orange Ginger Chicken with ingredients you probably already have in your pantry.  This recipe is easy enough for a quick weeknight dinner but still has that ‘something special’ for company.  Enjoy!

Ingredients:

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • Zest & juice of 1/2 orange
  • ¼ cup finely diced onion
  • ¾ teaspoon minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 2 tablespoon soy sauce

Directions:

  • In a small bowl, combine the orange zest & juice, onion, garlic, ginger and soy sauce.
  • Pour the the marinade into a large Ziploc bag and add the chicken.  Store in the refrigerator to marinate for 1 hour (or as little as 20 minutes if, like me, you’re inpatient).
  • Heat a grill pan to medium-high heat and grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side, depending on thickness.  Helpful note: use a large pan cover or piece of tinfoil to cover the chicken while its grilling.  This helps the inside cook faster!
  • Serve and enjoy!

Bon appetit!
