Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- Green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade: In a bowl, combine sesame oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and grated ginger. Stir well until the mixture is well-blended.
- Marinate the chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the bowl, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat your cooking surface: Preheat your grill or skillet over medium heat.
- Cook the chicken: Place the marinated chicken on the grill or skillet. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until chicken is cooked through and reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Finish with sesame seeds: Remove the chicken from the heat and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
- Garnish and serve: Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can use bone-in chicken thighs instead of breasts. Marinating for 15 minutes is enough for a quick meal.
