Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using). This will be your marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for more intense flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F/200°C). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any leftover marinade. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to help achieve a good sear on the grill.
Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is no longer pink in the center.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 3-5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Garnish the grilled chicken with chopped fresh parsley and serve with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
