I cut the raw chicken up into bite-sized bites and then marinated it in the ginger, garlic, and oil mix. I don't usually mince garlic, I just chop it most of the time. I used vegetable oil, too, since that's what I have.
And then I put it into a skillet and started cooking. I'm sure whole chicken breasts would be amazing on the grill, but sometimes grilling just isn't possible.
Here is my salsa. I made some changes from what the recipe calls for. I used a sweet onion instead of a red one, and I didn't use any tomatoes. I don't like tomatoes. I also didn't use any jalapenos since I'm not really big on spicy foods. I used dried cilantro. I used lemon juice instead of lime, just because that is what was in the fridge, and I added some of Wegman's Organic Chicken Broth. I cooked it in a pot because I used frozen peaches, which is why I needed extra fluid as opposed to the recipe, which is a fresh salsa.
I steamed some green beans in the microwave with a touch of butter, and served the salsa next to the chicken.
I could have easily served the salsa on top of the chicken, but wanted to make sure everything was delicious before mixing it all. I'll definitely be making this again. I think it could also be turned into a slow cooker or dutch oven recipe. The only reason I didn't use fresh ginger is because I don't usually have any in the house, but I'm sure it would have been delicious, too. I know changing the recipe changes the points value (for those doing Weight Watchers) and also changes the calorie count, but it was delicious and will be made again!
