I knew what I was making for dinner tonight ever since 5:30 a.m. today!
When I saw a recipe in the latest Cooking Light magazine for a simple ponzu sauce at the gym this morning, I figured I could use it to kick up the flavor of the chicken tenders I had in my fridge.
I followed the recipe fairly closely, but doubled it and added two chopped garlic cloves and some ginger to the mix and nixed the green onion because I didn’t have one on hand.
I sautéed the chicken tenders and sliced them up once they were completely cooked through and let them soak up all the sauce for a bit.
I served the chicken atop roasted broccoli and Brussels sprouts.
The sauce added a salty and sweet flavor to the dish that I absolutely loved. It takes a lot for me to really love chicken (I find it kind of boring), but this sauce did the trick!
Off to watch New Girl! I’ve heard fantastic things from you guys about last night’s episode and can’t want to cue it up on the DVR!
Sana says
I agree! Chicken is so BORING!
Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife says
Oh wow, that does look yummy! I love the combo of chicken and broccoli. SO good. Have a nice night!
This Fit Chick says
That looks delicious! I have had SERIOUS chicken cravings lately.. if I had a kitchen nearby I would make this!
Catherine says
New Girl had me laughing while I was making dinner! Love it!

I was like….”Weston, lets see what Julie had for dinner”…he looked over at my laptop and said and said “what the heck is Ponzu?” lol
Kristen @ notsodomesticated says
We started watching The New Girl, but then fell asleep haha. We’re pathetic. 😉
Claire says
I LOVE broccoli in a stir fry. I like how it gets soggy with the sauce (well that doesn’t sound too appetizing I admit). Dinner looked great!!!
Laurie says
JUST finished watching the New Girl. Winston was amazing!
Alysia says
Ginger is an ingredient I don’t have around often. I need to get some and try it out on some dishes. New girl is hilarious! Definitely a regular on the DVR
Ciara says
I find chicken kind of dull too! I only like it from time to time, sometimes the taste just doesn’t settle well with me. Thanks for another idea for a way to prepare it 🙂
We just watched the new New Girl too. Too funny! I think Nick is in the running for my fave character but they all have quirky personality traits that I love 🙂
Colleen @ Culinary Colleen says
I was so excited when I saw all of those sauce recipes in Cooking Light! I can’t wait to try some. That ponzu looks delicious.
Also, New Girl is great! I was on the fence after the first couple of episodes, but now I’m hooked.
Roz @ Fit Blogging for Fun, Family & Profit says
the sauce looks good! My hubby and I love that show the new girl, we usually will get some good laughs about it, along the lines of the big bang theory. We don’t watch too much tv but have those on the dvr when we are in the mood!
Caitlin @ This Bride's Joyride says
That sauce sounds delicious — but I just can’t eat chicken lately! I don’t know what happened, I used to think it was dull, then I enjoyed it and now I can’t smell it, taste it or be near it!
Mattie @ Comfy and Confident says
Ohhh the New Girl was so good! I love that show. Last night’s episode was amazing.
Katie @ Peace Love & Oats says
That dinner looks so good! You are great about making good dinners, I am so bad about making real dinners, I usually end up snacking through dinner.
Bonnie @ pastepants says
Mmm that looks really good!
Stephanie @ Legally Blinde says
Your meal looks so good! What a great combination. I hope you enjoyed New Girl – it was sooo awkward and hilarious. I was thinking that there’s no way I could ever work on that set because I would be cracking up ALL the time. Jess in that ski mask… too funny.
Serena says
I’m saving new girl for tomorrow. The chicken looks yummy.
Lexie @ This Aussie Eats says
Ooh you had me with the photo that said “10 Minute Sauces”!
Love quick and easy sauces that can be customized to what you have at home.
Healthiful Balance says
What a yummy dinner!
Hope @ With A Side Of Hope says
That chicken looks great! 🙂 I get bored with chicken easily too. I’m always looking for ways to liven it up and taste better.
Bess @ Bess Be Fit says
I’m with ya…chicken can be so boring! And yet, since I gave up meat for Lent…I have been dying to have it! And bacon…that will be the first thing I eat 🙂
Loving the blue napkin and dish…so springy! Have an awesome day lady!
Liza says
Chicken bores me to death, unless there’s some good ol’ FRY on it! Haha! Glad to see I’m not the only one who feels that way.
