Spicy Ginger Marinated Chicken

I got this recipe from
the Winter 2008 Diabetic Living Magazine
I didn't find this very spicy
so I would add more red pepper
my hsb does not like sweet foods
and he really liked it
it also leaves your kitchen smelling good!

I added parmesan couscous and a salad

Marinate
1/4 C low sugar orange marmalade
3 Tbsp reduced sodium soy sauce
2 Tbsp vinegar
1 Tbsp canola oil
2 tsp fresh ginger or 1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/8-1/4 tsp crushed red pepper (or to taste)
4 skinless chicken breast

Mix the first 6 ingredients
 set aside 1/3 C in a seperate container
 to use when you are serving


Close up of Marinade


Marinate the chicken in a ziplock bag for 4-6 hrs turning occasionally.
Cook in a non stick pan sprayed with oil until chicken is no longer pink.


Once cooked throughly transfer the chicken to a serving plate.
 Pour reserved marinade into the pan, heating throughly.


Serve over chicken.
