Ginger-Lime Chicken

From WeightWatchers. Delicious and very easy. I mixed up the marinade the night before, and then added the chicken in the morning, so it marinated all day. We grilled the chicken instead of broiling, so there wasn’t any sauce.

  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 Tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 2 tsp lime zest, finely minced
  • 2 Tbsp ginger root, finely minced or grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 Tbsp honey
  • 1 Tbsp chili oil, or other hot oil
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, fresh, chopped, divided
  • 1 pound uncooked boneless skinless chicken breasts, four 4 oz pieces
  • 2 Tbsp uncooked scallions, finely minced

Instructions

  1. In a large non-reactive bowl, combine soy sauce, lime juice, lime zest, ginger, garlic, honey, oil and 2 tablespoons cilantro; mix well. Remove and reserve 2 tablespoons of the marinade. Add chicken to bowl, tossing to make sure each piece is coated; refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours.
  2. Preheat broiler to high. Remove chicken from marinade and place in a baking dish; discard marinade. Broil chicken, 4 to 6 minutes; flip and brush chicken with reserved marinade. Return chicken to oven and broil until chicken is cooked through, about 4 to 6 minutes more.
  3. To serve, sprinkle chicken with scallions, remaining 2 tablespoons cilantro and any sauce accumulated in baking dish. Yields 1 chicken breast and about 1/3 cup sauce per serving.
