This recipe is a version of "Ginger-Soy Chicken Thighs" from Cooking Light, November 2010.

It is easier to do as a stirfry, although it can be done as the original chicken breast recipe.

I discovered that I had a few extra unused shitake mushrooms and some snow peas left over from an earlier meal. I added those to the onions as they were cooking. It did not hurt the recipe.

The ginger preserves can be difficult to find, but a store with a Middle Eastern (Pakistani-Indian) section will probably have it.
