Servings 4
Ingredients
- 8 thin boneless skinless chicken breast cutlets around 3 ounces each
For the Marinade:
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds plus more for garnish
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 Tsp fresh ginger peeled and minced
- 1 Tsp honey
- 2 Tsp sesame oil
- 2 green onions minced
- 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
scallions, for garnish
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together all the marinade ingredients.
- Place the chicken in a dish and pour the marinade over it, making sure to coat the pieces evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight for the best flavor.
- When ready to cook, preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-low heat and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- Start grilling the chicken with the top side down. Cook for 3 minutes until it’s nicely browned and charred, then flip it over and grill for another 3 minutes. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning.
- Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a serving platter and sprinkle with sesame seeds and scallions for garnish.
