Ginger Chicken Recipe

As you know, I’m all for creating quick, easy and fabulously delicious recipes and our roasted chicken recipe certainly fits the bill!

Just stir together a few ingredients, pour over chicken and bake.

A tasty sauce made with basic kitchen ingredients forms as chicken breasts simmer in the oven.

Brown sugar, Dijon mustard and apple cider vinegar are the base of this sauce. Fresh ginger and garlic add savory notes and cornstarch creates the glaze.

Sprinkle with the fresh flavor of cilantro, add a salad and sautéed broccoli and dinner is served!

    Hi Eileen, You might be able to substitute honey for the brown sugar but I have not done a run through using honey in this recipe so I cannot guarantee the outcome. Happy cooking! Gwynn
