Add a little ginger to your next meal and feel your superpowers kick in! It’s true — ginger is a superfood and it elevates this Ginger Chicken Recipe to the next level. I love a good Paleo Chicken recipe and this is one to share!

Why The Recipe Works

Ginger is one of those spices that can add a great punch of flavor to your food without adding a bunch of calories to your meal. Whenever we can add a unique flavor to our foods, it helps us to widen the variety of what we are able to eat.

My mom used to make Ginger Chicken for us once a week and after recreating the dish, I remember why I love it so much. It’s an easy paleo chicken recipe using only 10 ingredients but it packs a punch of awesomeness.



The recipe creates a tasty gingery sauce that you will want to hoard share and spoon upon the chicken legs.



Ginger is a Healthy Spice

Ginger is practically a superfood. It can help to settle a nauseous stomach (including morning sickness) and helps as an anti-inflammatory that can reduce pain from arthritis and other ailments caused by inflammation. Ginger can help to reduce muscle pain and soreness, including menstrual cramps.

Ginger may also lower blood pressure, cholesterol and stabilize blood sugar. If you are struggling with chronic indigestion, ginger can help to turn it around. With just a little bit of ginger incorporated into your diet, you could be helping many of your common health issues.
