Gingered Chicken Breast

(from The South Beach Diet cookbook)

1 T. fresh lemon juice

1 1/2 tsp. grated fresh ginger

1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

2 cloves garlic

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves

1) Combine all ingredients, except the chicken, in a small bowl.

2) Place the chicken breasts in a deep bowl, Pour the ginger mixture over the chicken, turning once to coat both sides. Cover, refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.

3) Spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray (I use my grill pan). Heat the skillet on medium-high heat until hot. Add the chicken. Cook, turning once, until tender, about 8 minutes.
