ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 green onion, chopped (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
steps
- 1.
In a bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, and Sriracha sauce.
- 2.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag, ensuring the chicken is coated evenly, and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for more flavor).
- 3.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
- 4.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the excess marinade. Grill the chicken breasts for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- 5.
While grilling, brush the chicken with the marinade several times to create a glossy glaze.
- 6.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips.
- 7.
Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
- 8.
Serve hot with steamed jasmine rice and your favorite Asian vegetables.
