I'm one of those people who can't do cilantro, but I do love Asian recipes other than that. And I agree about chicken - you can do so much with it and it's always good to have around! I like to roast a chicken on the weekend, and then make different things out of the leftovers during the week.
Love this jazzed up chicken dish!
Your BF and my fiance must have come from the same mold. Too bad for them. This sounds awesome!!!
I'll add it to my list of "I'm the only one home" meals. Yum.
This looks and sounds delicious. I think I would be the only one to enjoy this at my house as well. Oh well, more for me!
Well it certainly looks incredible! Nice work! Its hard to come up with new ways to make chicken!!
Delicious...so many of my favorites...soy, ginger, cilantro!
The flavors of this dish sound wonderful to me!
I am also always on the look-out for new and tasty ways to cook chicken. Lucky for me, I really enjoy Asian flavors so will be adding this to my recipe list :). It looks delicious!
I've gotten my boyfriend on a cilantro kick...and he loves Asian food...so this may be a nice surprise meal for him tonight. :-)
Sounds yummy; we are just delving into Asian flavors. I too, love them, but still need to convince my kiddos. Last night's rice vinegar salad dressing wasn't a fave:).
Happy to find your blog!
I love this recipe - just the kind of flavours I love! My boyf won't touch cheese or cream - good for my waistline, though I do sometimes have to make a massive mac and cheese just for me!!!!
All of the ingredients sound so good; I bet the end product was fantastic!
