Lemon Garlic Chicken

We've been taking a sort of winter lazy holiday this week since we work all major holidays. It's cold, and we don't heat the kitchen beyond the open doorway to the rest of the house so i am loathe to spend much time NOT being lazy on my lazy holiday. So when I decided I was hungry, I wanted something fast but tasty. I made this with frozen chicken and my Lemony Cabbage Recipe and was still done in under 20 minutes.





  • 1-2 TBS olive oil (i use lemon - obviously i cook with it a lot. great salad dressing too!)
  • Zest of 1/2 lemon
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 1 Chicken Breast per person, cubed
  • 2 Garlic Cloves (i use the paste from a tube)
  • 1/4 tsp Turmeric
  • 1 tsp Ginger Honey (or 1 tsp Honey w/ 1/4 tsp Ginger)

In a pan on medium-medium high heat, Add 1-2 Tbs of lemon olive, the juice of half a lemon (I made 1/4 head of cabbage for 2 sides and used the other half lemon in that recipe), and the zest of half a lemon (i used the zest from 1.5 lemons on the cabbage), 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1/4 tsp turmeric to the hot pan. Add chicken and stir to coat. Cook through, turning once. When the chicken is cooked, stir in 1 tsp Honey and Stir to coat. Let simmer ~1minute. Serve over lemony cabbage.

*I added a dash of cayenne to my lemony cabbage to pair well with the asian flavors of the chicken.
