How to Make Amazing Lemon Ginger Chicken
- In a large resealable bag, combine 2 tbsp paprika, 1 tbsp garlic powder, 1 tbsp onion powder, 1 tsp ground ginger, 1 tsp ground turmeric, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
- Add 2 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger to the bag.
- Seal the bag, ensuring no air is trapped, and shake vigorously to combine all dry ingredients.
- Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the bag. Seal and shake again to coat the chicken evenly.
- Remove all air from the bag, reseal, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours (or up to overnight).
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-low heat.
- Remove chicken from the bag, reserving the marinade. Place the chicken in the pan.
- Brown the chicken evenly on both sides for approximately 10 minutes per side.
- Reduce heat to low. Pour the reserved marinade into the pan.
- Add 1 cup of ginger ale to the pan.
- Cover the pan and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
- Serve immediately over rice, with roasted vegetables, or alongside your favorite potato dish.
