Honey and chicken, with hints of ginger and delicious, sweet honey... Ah, the mere thought of it brings dinner that much closer to lunch. Every once in a while, we all need a little golden-rich syrup in our lives, to lift our spirits and satisfy that dessert craving (in dinner form), but is honey Paleo?
We'll leave that up to you to decide for yourselves, while we get onto the business of making this amazingly simple one-pot meal. We hope that you follow our lead and add this dish to your weekly meal plan.
Chicken is chicken, and we will always love it for that. Chicken tenders, chicken Kiev, chicken which is fried and chopped up, then added to a green salad with sunflower seeds, drenched with a lemony vinaigrette - they all go down well in our book.
Find the best organic, free-range chicken breasts that you can, but don't stop there. It is the "other" ingredients that provide the more memorable flavor combinations. In this case: the ginger, coconut aminos, honey, and chili flakes really make a smashing collaboration.
The only sure way to know if you like it is to try it; the curious ones always do!
If you are short on time, feel free to serve this dish as is - it is truly a winner! Go for a bigger prize and serve it with cauliflower rice or grilled sweet potatoes, the praise around the dinner table will speak for itself.
