Equipment

Grill or grill pan
Mixing Bowls

Ingredients

1/4 cup soy sauce use tamari for gluten free
1/4 cup rice vinegar
2-3 teaspoons chili oil add more or less depending on how spicy you like it
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 1/2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons grated garlic about 1-2 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon finely chopped green onions (white and some of the green part)
4 4-6 ounce boneless skinless chicken breasts

Instructions

In a small to medium bowl whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili oil, honey, garlic, and green onion.
Place chicken in a plastic bag or shallow dish and pour marinade over the top. Let the chicken marinade 2-3 hours or overnight.
Set grill to medium high and grill the chicken for 7-8 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink. Internal temp will be 165 degree when done cooking.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it sit for about 3-5 minutes before serving. This helps to seal in the juices.
Serve with salad, vegetables, or on a sandwich or wrap.

Make-ahead instructions

The chicken can be prepared in the marinade up to days beforehand. You can also freeze it in the marinade for up to 3-6 months. Take out 1-2 days and let the chicken thaw in the refrigerator before cooking on the grill.
