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

My family love this recipe and request it in the summer. Not wanting to fire the oven up in the summer I created a grilling alternative. I make the sauce put the chicken and the sauce together in a plastic zip lock bag, then I fire up the grill. When the coals are ready I shake off as much of the sauce as I can and give the breasts nice seared grill marks. Then place the breasts in a cast iron skillet, salt and pepper them and dump the remaining sauce from the bag on top. Snuff out the coals and put the skillet on the grill grate to finish cooking the chicken, turning a few times. Excellent, tender with a nice smoke flavor. Great with veggie kaboobs put on the grill with the chicken! Finish the meal with a nice pasta or fruit salad! Thanks for a great recipe :)

This was an excellent dish! Easy, easy, easy! I used 2 medium sized chicken breasts and put them in a Pyrex baking dish for 30 minutes. I doubled everything except for the ginger. Thank you for a great, easy and delicious recipe! UPDATE: Made these yet again, and it's now a meal that we eat often. Healthy, light and delicious! I did not brown the chicken, just put it in the oven for 30 minutes, which is perfect. I did sprinkle some panko crumbs on the chicken before putting in the oven, just to give it a little crunch. I recommend putting the water at the bottom of the dish instead of mixing with the ingredients.

I really loved this chicken, and my 17 month old liked it too. I did it in the pan to get it done faster, and it turned out well. I didn't add the cayenne because of my little boy, but next time i will pull his out and then add it. I think the heat would be really good with the sweetness. I added a dash of lemon juice to make it a bit more acidic, and all the flavors really worked together. This will be a new regular on our rotating dinner menu.

Great recipe! As soon as you mix up the sauce, the smell is going to intoxicate you. SO fragrant. However, I ended up using ground ginger instead of fresh, and you can really taste the difference; the ground ginger makes the dish more bitter than it should be. I'd urge people to use fresh grated ginger whenever possible.

Very easy recipe! Thoroughly enjoyed this dish - so did my family. We're quite the foodies (daughter in culinary school) and this recipe was fun and tasty. Thanks for the recipe!

Well it was clean bones all round, I quartered a medium chicken and left the skins on and allowed an hour to cook but the thermometer was reading cooked at 50 so I turned the oven down to low to keep warm (as I also got a call from the DH that he would be about 15 minutes late (I hadn't started the steamed vegetables at this stage so decide to wait till he got home as they only take 10 minutes and turned the potatoes down to a burble so I knew they would be right for mashing by then), the DH thought is breast could have done with an extra few minutes but overall a good recipe, the sauce was sweet but tangy and with the bite of the 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne just right for all of us. Thank you French Tart a nice easy midweek recipe that I would be happy to recommend to anyone.

A wonderful chicken dish. I did use 4 cloves of garlic and found that to be a nice flavor. Thanks for a great recipe.

Good recipe! I only used 1 tbsp of mustard and lots of minced ginger and added some minced garlic as well. I also let it marinate in the sauce for about 2hrs. I baked it but it tasted better when i threw into the pan afterwards. I just put some of the sauce in it and cooked til there was no sauce remaning. It tasted much better this way so next time, I might just pan fry it.

French Tart, Excellent, DH said, "please make this again"! I Used Keen's dry mustard had just run out of Dijon and instead of cayenne pepper used red pepper flakes. Absolutely delicious! Served with Creamed Peas With Mushrooms and Bacon over fresh herb infused fettuccine! I will serve the leftover chicken and sauce tomorrow over rice, thank you for sharing.

I was afraid I would not like this at first, but wanted to use up some ginger root and try something new. The smell of it cooking was so lovely and the taste even better. My fiance and I now call this one of our favorites. Thanks so much for sharing... this recipe rocks!

This recipe was a little bland and sweet for my family. I did like that it was easy to prepare and healthy. I think next time I will have to reduce the water and add something to make it a little more tangy. We ate it on a bed of brown rice with sauteed veggies.

The ginger flavor was perfect, we loved this recipe! I decided to experiment and baked one and pan fried one. I much preferred the pan fried one, it had caramelization and just plain looked better, the oven baked one was pale and unappetizing looking, although it was very good. Thanks for sharing!

Im almost done making this dish now and it smells delicious with the honey and the mustard...but I think that It is left on way too long in the oven. I had only one piece of chicken which did not burn but ALL OF the sauce burned on my pan in the oven. Idk if I needed oil for it not to burn or what? Maybe some pointers...smells delicious and looks to taste great but would taste even better with some juice to pour on top of the chicken

This was very good. I doubled the recipe with the ingredients as written. Because I'm having a problem with my oven temp, I didn't want to bake them and didn't want to have to babysit them on the stove-top, so what I did was brown the breasts in a skillet first and then put them in a crockpot and poured the sauce over (and under) the breasts. They came out perfectly, and I see no problem cooking them this way, especially in the summer when I wouldn' turn the oven on anyway and am too busy to keep checking stove-top cooking.

Delicious! We did add cayenne and thought it was a nice addition. We baked this, but I think it would be even better on the grill. We'll definitely be making this again.
