*This is a healthy adaptation from the “Lemon Ginger Marinated Chicken” recipe in Special Eats, Simple Solutions for Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Cooking by Sueson Vess. I do not recommend a gluten-free & dairy-free lifestyle, unless medically warranted, but I do enjoy some of the recipes from this book.
