Who doesn’t love chicken? Maybe you don’t, but this Ginger Habanero Chicken will have you loving it from first to the last bite. This spicy and flavorful dish has some Caribbean inspired flavors.

The main reason for making this dish is because my sister in law’s uncle has a garden. Maybe a series of gardens where he grows almost anything you can imagine. So he gave me the habanero peppers from his garden. One thing is for certain, homegrown vegetables are always one thousand times better than store bought.

If you like pulled chicken recipes I recommend my Thai Pulled Chicken!

The habanero and the ginger pair quite well. I mixed this with a few spices and coconut sugar to have a well-balanced dish. Ginger Habanero Chicken is made in the slow cooker, it is practical and requires little skill to make it taste good.

Ginger Habanero might sound too spicy for a lot of people, but my wife (who doesn’t like hot food) actually enjoyed it. She also ate all of it!

Ginger in this dish is a great way to get ginger in your diet. This root has a plethora of health benefits. These range from helping stomach distress, nausea, flu, and muscle inflammation. Eating ginger doesn’t justify skipping your next doctor’s visit, but making it part of a diet is worth considering. Especially during flu season.

The Ginger Habanero Chicken is great since it has great micronutrient content. On top of that this will provide you with a great macronutrient balance. The macronutrients for one 4 oz (100 gram) serving is:

Calories: 180

Fats: 10

Carbs: 5

Proteins: 24

Low in calories and high in protein, it is a quite satiating dish. I recommend eating with avocado if you want more fats or with plantains for some healthy carbs. If you are like me, I eat my Ginger Habanero Chicken with both plantains and avocado! If making it for meal prep, just make sure to eat it within 4 days for best taste.

I hope you enjoy!
