Not-so-Cinco-de-Mayo Orange Ginger Chicken

I always love tailoring my meals around any type of holiday, celebration, etc. So when Cinco de Mayo rolled around, my chicken breast was ready to be transformed into a grilled tostada masterpiece.

Well, any woman who has ever carried a child knows, some days you’re just plain tired! And I was! So we had my husband’s signature dish, pasta with peas, instead. Feeling revived and rested today, still left with my raw chicken breast, I tried a take on Orange Ginger Chicken and fell in love! My husband loves Chinese dishes but my post-Asian food pregnancy heartburn disagrees. This was a great way to incorporate Asian flavors with a fresh, tangy, summer citrus taste without the uncomfortable after math. I almost doubled the marinade/sauce and I’m glad I did because it was so delicious!

This was a great alternative to grilled chicken while still feeling like a summer meal. The fresh orange flavor gives life to the entire dish. One thing is for sure, I’ll be fighting my husband for the leftovers! Please check out the recipe at TheFoodetarian.com and I hope you enjoy!
