Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 piece Tomato (sliced)
- 0.5 piece Red onion (thinly sliced)
- 2 pieces Sandwich buns (toasted)
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, rice vinegar, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are fully coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and grill for 5-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Sprinkle sesame seeds over the chicken during the last minute of cooking.
While the chicken grills, toast the sandwich buns on the grill or in a toaster oven until golden brown.
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on each half of the toasted buns.
Assemble the sandwich by layering lettuce leaves, grilled chicken, tomato slices, and red onion on the bottom half of the bun. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve the sandwiches warm with your favorite side, such as a salad or sweet potato fries. Enjoy!
