Sweet Ginger Soy Chicken

My husband trains like a bodybuilder and when he cracks down that means his diet gets really lean and methodical. This makes for some fun new inventions in the kitchen! I love helping him eat clean (I mean, heck, who’s really benefiting here? *wink*)

This took 15 minutes 🙂

Ingredients

  • 1 (2.3 lbs) pkg chicken, sliced
  • 1 med onion, chopped
  • 2-3 tsp sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic (use 1 heaping tbsp ready minced, its faster prep)
  • 1 heaping tbsp minced ginger
  • 3/4 cup chicken stock
  • 4 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey or sucanat
  • 1 cup frozen shelled edamame  (rinse in cold water in colander and set aside) OR  1 can green peas, drained

Directions

  1. Heat sesame oil in pan on medium heat
  2. Add onion and cook gently for about 5 minutes, then add 3 cloves garlic and cook additional 2-3 minutes or until onion is translucent
  3. Add chicken and ginger
  4. Stir in broth, soy and honey. Then add edamame/peas and cook until tender

Sorry, no picture as of yet!…it was gone before I could get a good pic! Ah, well…
