About Honey lemon chicken

Honey Lemon Chicken is a flavorful dish combining tender chicken with a sticky-sweet glaze made from honey and fresh lemon juice. Often associated with Chinese-inspired cuisine, this dish offers a delightful balance of savory and tangy flavors. Typically, the marinade includes soy sauce, garlic, and ginger to enhance its depth, while optional sesame seeds and green onions provide texture and garnish. On the nutritional front, the chicken serves as a lean protein source, promoting muscle health and satiety. The honey provides natural sweetness but adds sugar, so portion control is key. Lemon juice contributes vitamin C, which supports immunity and antioxidant activity. While traditionally pan-fried, choosing a baked or grilled preparation can reduce added oils, making it lighter. Pairing Honey Lemon Chicken with steamed vegetables or brown rice creates a balanced, nutrient-rich meal ideal for those seeking both indulgence and better eating habits.
