Description
A flavorful grilled chicken dish marinated in a savory soy sauce mix.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast
- 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes
- 2 tbsp brown sugar or coconut sugar
- 1 tbsp fresh grated ginger
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp tahini
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 sliced green onion
- 1 tbsp additional sesame seeds
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, minced garlic, brown sugar, tahini, sesame oil, rice vinegar, grated ginger, sesame seeds, and red pepper flakes. Whisk everything together until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
- Add the chicken to the bowl, making sure it’s fully coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours for deeper flavor.
- When ready, either bake or grill the chicken to your preference.
- Once cooked, garnish with sliced green onions and additional sesame seeds before serving.
- Preheat the grill to 400°F. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Cooking time may vary based on the size of the chicken breasts.
Notes
- The longer you marinate the chicken, the more flavorful it will be.
- You can substitute coconut aminos for a soy-free option.
- Serve with steamed rice or vegetables for a complete meal.
