Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Ginger Pesto Chicken.
Step 1
To start, grab a saucepan and pour in some dry white wine along with lightly salted water.
Step 2
Gently place the chicken breasts into the mixture and bring it to a lively boil.
Step 3
Once you see those bubbles dancing, reduce the heat and let the chicken simmer away until it’s fully cooked and beautifully white, which should take about 8 to 10 minutes.
Step 4
When the chicken is ready, take the pan off the heat and let the chicken cool in the flavorful broth for a bit before removing it and setting it aside.
Step 5
Next, let’s move to the skillet.
Step 6
Heat up some vegetable oil over medium-low heat, and then add in the grated ginger, minced garlic, a pinch of salt, and a sprinkle of sugar.
Step 7
Lower the heat and stir occasionally, allowing the garlic to transform into a golden brown delight over the next 20 minutes.
Step 8
After that, toss in the chopped green onions and keep cooking for another 10 minutes, stirring now and then until the white parts of the onions become tender and fragrant.
Step 9
Now it’s time to bring it all together! Slice the poached chicken breasts on a bias into 1-inch wide pieces and arrange them artfully on a serving plate.
Step 10
Generously spoon the aromatic ginger and green onion mixture over the chicken, letting those vibrant flavors mingle.
Step 11
Serve it up and enjoy a dish that’s not just a meal, but a delightful experience for your taste buds!.
