Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil until the sugar is dissolved.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 hours for better flavor.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using an outdoor grill, ensure it's clean and lightly oiled.

  4. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Garnish

    While the chicken is grilling, slice the green onions and set aside. Toast the sesame seeds in a small pan over medium heat until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the chicken and serve it topped with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
