Tasty Ginger Chicken

This one was such a hit with the entire family - I made it twice in one week. The first time, I used asparagus. The second time, I used broccoli. All good stuff! This recipe fed my family of four - adjust for yourself, as needed.

Tasty Ginger Chicken

4-6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
1 1/2 TBS Olive Oil
1 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
2 large portobello mushrooms, thinly sliced (or 4-6 regular mushrooms)
1 chopped green onion
Salt, to taste
Ground pepper, to taste.

Cook for another 5 minutes, or until the chicken is completely done (I test for doneness the tried and true way - - slice open the center and check for raw meat!) Don’t mind the pictures - - I took them during this process and I am the world’s sloppiest cook!

We had this meal with a small side of Ceasar salad with a few slices of romaine tomatoes, and non-fat Ceasar dressing. It’s really good!
