Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4, 1 cup per serving

Ingredients

Rub

1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried sage
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Chicken

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, all visible fat discarded
1 tablespoon canola or corn oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon soy sauce (lowest sodium available)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a small bowl, stir together the rub ingredients. Using your fingertips, lightly press the rub all over the chicken. Cut the chicken into strips about 1/2 inch wide.

    Step 2

    In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the chicken for 3 to 5 minutes, or until nearly cooked through, stirring frequently.

    Step 3

    Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, honey, and soy sauce.

    Step 4

    Stir the lemon juice mixture into the chicken. Increase the heat to high and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center.
