Lemon Chicken

A similar dish can be made substituting the orange for a lemon (leaving the orange if still available from your quota as a desert or snack).

Ginger Chicken

A similar dish can be made by reducing the garlic if you wish, and adding in one teaspoon of minced ginger. Mix half of the ginger into the stock (or equivalent) then smear the remaining half a teaspoon of the ginger onto the chicken breast pieces with the garlic.

These delicious chicken dishes can be served with your vegetable quota if you remove the onions from the recipe…serve with sautéed cabbage or spinach or silver beet or bok choy or roasted onions or roasted tomatoes or steamed asparagus. Enjoy!
