Lemon Ginger Chicken with Garlic and Ginger Broccoli

You will really have to look beyond these blurry photos and see the beauty of this dish! Apparently, I had my camera on the absolute worst setting when I took these! Can you hear me crying right now!

Don't you love my fancy, swirly chili sauce? Yeah, me too! When I brought this plate to my husband he said, "Oh, you didn't have to do all of this!". I was thinking, "Well, of course I did, it's for the blog photo, silly!

This dish is light, healthy and low in fat. I know that with swimsuit season approaching we cannot just go around eating cheesecake for breakfast anymore. Of course, I am not talking about me! I would never do that! No, really!

Okay, so here is what you will need for this recipe:

• 8-10 boneless skinless chicken breast tenders
• juice from 1 lemon
• juice from 1/2 an orange
• 1 tsp reduced sodium soy sauce
• 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 clove minced garlic
• 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
• 1 tbsp dried parsley (You can use fresh parsley, I just forgot to buy it.)
  
• several turns of cracked pepper
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt

Place everything into a Ziploc bag. Shake, shake, shake! Place in the refrigerator for 2 or more hours to marinade. Remove from bag and place on the grill and cook through. I cooked on the George Forman Grill this time and it turned out great!

I served the chicken with some
Ginger and Garlic Broccoli and Jasmine rice.

This is how I made the Garlic and Ginger Broccoli:

• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• 1 tsp grated ginger
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 1/4 cup water
• 2 tsp olive oil

Heat the oil in a saute pan. Add your garlic and ginger. Cook for about a minute. Add the broccoli and the water. Cover and cook on medium-low until tender crisp.

I know you will just love all of the great flavors in this!

~Enjoy!~
