Cooking Directions for Single Meal

  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pomegranate juice, honey, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, ground ginger, and cumin. Whisk well to create a vinaigrette marinade.
  3. Place the chicken into baking dish or plastic baggie and pour the marinade over the top. Cover with plastic wrap or seal, and marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
