Low Fat Grilled Ginger and Lemon Chicken

July 31, 2009 by Mary

I love to eat chicken, and the following low fat grilled ginger and lemon chicken recipe is sure to have chicken lovers salivating. It’s healthy, low in fat and tastes so darn good!

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons of lite soy sauce
1/2 cup of red raspberry preserves
2 tablespoons of fresh ginger root, peeled and grated
1 teaspoon of fresh garlic, minced
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
4 lemon wedges (for garnish, optional)

Instructions:

Blend together lemon juice, soy sauce, preserves, ginger root and garlic in a baking dish. Marinate chicken in this mixture for at least 15 minutes (longer is even better!) Grill each side of the chicken for 7 minutes or until no longer pink and juices are clear. Serve garnished with lemon wedges. Marinating before grilling helps keeps the chicken from drying out for a tender and juicier result than if you just grilled plain chicken.

I have used this low fat grilled ginger and lemon chicken recipe for several years now and my family just loves it. Give it a try and let me know what you think.
