Lemon Ginger Chicken

The lemon and ginger are bright flavours that bring out the berry sweetness perfectly but taste delicious on their own. 

5 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into pieces
1 tbsp + 1 tsp coconut oil
1/2 tbsp + 1/2 tbsp powdered ginger
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tbsp lemon zest (wash that lemon first!)
1/2 small red onion, finely diced
2 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp + 1/2 tsp turmeric
1 tbsp cornstarch
Shake of ground nutmeg
1/2 c. chicken broth
lemon slices, about 1/2 lemon.

Combine chicken, 1 tbsp coconut oil, 1/2 tbsp ginger, lemon zest, lemon juice, and 1/2 tsp turmeric in a lidded container. Stir well, and allow to marinate, refrigerated, for at least 1 hr.

​Heat 1 tsp oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, and add the onions, chicken mixture and lemon slices. Cook, stirring from time to time, until evenly browned. Mix 1/2 tbsp ginger, 1/2 tsp turmeric, cornstarch, and chicken broth. Add to skillet and increase the heat until it comes to a simmer and starts to thicken. Continue simmering until the chicken is completely cooked.  Remove lemon slices if desired, serve over brown rice. Shown with Saskatoon drizzle.
