Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 1 piece Lime
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F).
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and rub them with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle both sides with salt and black pepper.
Grill the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove from the grill and set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
While the chicken cooks, prepare the sesame ginger sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and the juice of one lime.
Peel and finely grate the fresh ginger and mince the garlic cloves. Add them to the sauce mixture and whisk until well combined.
Thinly slice the green onions and set them aside along with the toasted sesame seeds for garnishing.
Once the chicken has rested, slice it into strips or serve whole. Drizzle the sesame ginger sauce generously over the top.
Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving. Enjoy warm with a side of rice, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad.
