Chicken

Method

Preparation of Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them evenly with the marinade. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Preparation of Sweet Onion Teriyaki Sauce

  1. 2

    Cook the Sauce

    In a saucepan, add the chopped sweet onion, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Let it cook for about 5 minutes.

  2. 3

    Thicken the Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to form a slurry. Gradually add this mixture to the saucepan while stirring. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and stir in sesame seeds.

Grilling the Chicken

  1. 4

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 5

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  3. 6

    Serve

    Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice and drizzle with the sweet onion teriyaki sauce. Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
