Tamari, Ginger and Lime Chicken

  • Prep: 5 Minutes
  • Cook: 35-40 Minutes
  • Serves: 4

You know we love a simple yet great tasting recipe, however whilst staying in our little cabin in the valleys here in Portugal this needs to be the case even more so. We only have a tiny little kitchen with no oven and a fridge so small we can literally only store the salad. But its all good, we just needed to adapt. This recipe was prepped in less than 5 mins, tasted fantastic and we cooked it in something called a hot plate but you can do it in an oven, much easier.

Please note: This dish is best when left to marinate over night or prepping in the morning to marinate until you get home to cook it.
