Delicious Ginger Chicken Recipe - A Mediterranean Delight

Ingredients

Servings:
10
  • 1 cup ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 pieces chicken thighs, boneless (skinless if preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Chicken

    Season chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and cumin powder.

    Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes for better flavor.
  2. Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.

    Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the chicken.
  3. Cook the Chicken

    Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes per side.

    Avoid overcrowding the pan for even cooking.
  4. Add Ginger and Tomato Sauce

    Stir in the grated ginger and tomato sauce, then bring to a simmer.

    Cook for another 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  5. Finish with Lemon Juice

    Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice and parsley before serving.

    Adjust seasoning if necessary before serving.
