Simple Asian Honey Grilled Chicken with Marinade

After enjoying the 30 Minute Sweet and Sour Pork so much, Chad surprised me by admitting that he does indeed like Asian flavors. Imagine my surprise after 9 months of Chinese food cravings and a husband that I had to drag kicking and screaming. So, this was a great piece of news. Immediately the wheels started turning. So, first I decided to bring it to the grill.

Ingredients

1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon grated fresh garlic
3 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts washed and trimmed

Instructions

In a small bowl combine all ingredients (except chicken). Whisk until well combined. Place chicken in a 1 gallon resealable bag, add marinade and seal bag.
Rub the chicken with the marinade to make sure it is covering all the chicken. Place the chicken in the refrigerator (I have made this recipe and marinated for as little as 30 minutes and as long as 2 days. Overnight is just perfect). Turn the chicken occasionally.
Preheat grill to medium-high. Place chicken on the counter to come to room temp.
Grill chicken about 4-5 minutes on each side (until cooked completely through). Serve and enjoy.

Notes

If you don’t want to grill, you can still enjoy this fantastic chicken. Preheat your oven to 425°. Bake for 30 minutes in the marinade, in a 9x13 pan.
