Ingredients

  • 4 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 -2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 4 tablespoons water
  • 2 -3 teaspoons ground ginger or 1 tablespoon freshly ground gingerroot
  • 2 -4 garlic cloves, peeled & crushed
  • salt, to taste
  • fresh ground black pepper, to taste
  • 12-1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 180C or 350F.
  • Select a sturdy oven dish - preferably non-stick.
  • Place the chicken breasts into the baking dish.
  • Mix the honey, mustard, water, ginger & crushed garlic (and cayenne pepper if using) together in a measuring jug.
  • Pour over the chicken breasts, easing them up slightly so the mixture runs underneath them.
  • Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste and bake in the oven for 45 to 60 minutes.
  • Serve one chicken breast per person with some of the cooking sauce drizzled over the top of the chicken.
  • Garnish with chopped parsley & serve with a medley of steamed vegetables & pasta.
  • To pan fry, heat up a frying pan and add the chicken breasts - dry fry them briefly to give them a bit of colour and add the cooking sauce, mix well and cook for about 20- 30 minutes over a medium heat.
  • Serve as before.
