Ginger Me up Chicken! Low Fat Honey & Ginger Chicken Breasts

Recipe #211485 | 1¼ hours | 5 min prep | add private note
French Tart

By: French Tart

This is a recipe I have been making for yonks now.....I first devised it about 18 years ago, when I was following Rosemary Connely's "Hip & Thigh Diet"!! It's a very easy low fat chicken dish, which can be pan fried or baked in the oven - I prefer the latter method, it's much easier! Serve it with a medley of gently steamed vegetables, rice or pasta. (NB: PLEASE note, one of the reviewers has stated that she cooked this in a crockpot!! I would NEVER suggest cooking this recipe in a crockpot, that's why it is NOT mentioned as a cooking method ANYWHERE in the recipe - only pan-fried or oven baked. Thanks! )

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 180C or 350°F.
  2. 2
    Select a sturdy oven dish - preferably non-stick.
  3. 3
    Place the chicken breasts into the baking dish.
  4. 4
    Mix the honey, mustard, water, ginger & crushed garlic (and cayenne pepper if using) together in a measuring jug.
  5. 5
    Pour over the chicken breasts, easing them up slightly so the mixture runs underneath them.
  6. 6
    Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste and bake in the oven for 45 to 60 minutes.
  7. 7
    Serve one chicken breast per person with some of the cooking sauce drizzled over the top of the chicken.
  8. 8
    Garnish with chopped parsley & serve with a medley of steamed vegetables & pasta.
  9. 9
    To pan fry, heat up a frying pan and add the chicken breasts - dry fry them briefly to give them a bit of colour and add the cooking sauce, mix well and cook for about 20- 30 minutes over a medium heat.
  10. 10
    Serve as before.

I can't rate this accurately but I wanted to give people a heads up--- do NOT try this in a crock pot! YUCK YUCK... it smelled and tasted like floor cleaner... I think it just had wayyy to much time to saturate the flavors and the chicken came out a muddy brown color... Not appealing at all. So, just a warning! (I cooked mine on low for 8 hours)

    This was extremely easy to make and wonderfully tasty. I used 2 teaspoons of minced garlic from a jar as that was what I had, two teaspoons of the ginger and 1/2 teaspoon of the cayenne pepper. The sauce, when mixed looked dubious (brown and watery) and smelled strongly of the dijon mustard and ginger so I was a little nervous about the outcome. It really came out great, though, and the flavors blended quite well without any one of them overwhelming the dish. I served it with a side dish of curly pasta (high fiber) with sauteed spinach, shallots and garlic, sprinkled with a little grated parmesan. The meal rated a "Yum" from my son and hubby. The ease of the recipe and the low fat, healthy aspect of it rated highly with me! Thanks for sharing!

    This is a wonderfully tasty, easy and healthy recipe. I made it twice, once using ground ginger and once with fresh. For us the fresh ginger version is much superior to the ground. DH loved it as is, for my personal taste I'll reduce the mustard a bit next time...I'm not the big mustard fan he is. Thanks for a recipe to add to my quick and easy low-fat collection. I'll be making this again!

    mmmmmm this does have to have 5 stars!! Very delicious, DH thought it was the best for a while! The combination of honey , dejon ginger and garlic is wonderful and I used the cayenne too, for a nice little kick. I will certainly be making this one again and of course the plus is the low cal, low fat and reasonably low sugar, thanks for posting!!
