Marinade

For Serving

Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, sriracha sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, and black pepper. Mix well until honey is dissolved.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the chicken breasts to the marinade mixture. Ensure each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (preferably 2 hours for enhanced flavor).

Cooking the Chicken

  1. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Grill or cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  2. 4

    Rest the Chicken

    Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Cooking the Rice

  1. 5

    Cook the Jasmine Rice

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the jasmine rice, stir once, then cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes.

Serving

  1. 6

    Plate the Dish

    Fluff the rice with a fork and divide it among plates. Slice the chicken and place it over the rice. Garnish with chopped green onions and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
