Chicken Recipe

I am always looking for simple recipes that are tasty. With the warm temperatures, what I need these days is good salad recipes. I make an excellent tossed salad- just add everything that is fresh from the vegetable bin- usually works well. Last night, the choice was one that I enjoy chicken with ginger. Easy and tasty, the best combination. Martha Stewart approved as you can see at the end.
Happy cooking.
