GINGER CHICKEN WITH BROCCOLI

Neither Guy nor I are big on Oriental food, but I decided to try a recipe I found on this website: http://www.inthemoodforfood.com/. Since we don't like heavy soy flavors or too-sweet sauces, I cut the soy sauce in half and reduced the honey. Amazingly, we both liked this dish. It's not terribly saucy, just right, and the flavors are perfect -- not too sweet, not too much soy. It's fairly simple and pretty quick, so this is definitely one I will make again. Oh, and that's the leftover lemon-parsley rice with some frozen French-style green beans and baby peas in the pic above.
