Ingredients

  • 2 cups soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup dark sesame oil
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 4 inches fresh ginger, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded thin

Directions

Combine the 1 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons sesame oil, half of the lime juice, ginger, and garlic, and 1/4 cup cilantro in the bottom of each of 2 large freezer bags. Put 2 chicken breasts in each bag and get them coated with the marinade. Then set the bags on a work surface, force the air out and seal them. Allow chicken to marinade for 1 hour. You can also freeze the chicken right in the marinade at this point. To do so fold each bag over the chicken 3 times, tape them well, and date them. Put it in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Place a large grill pan on 2 burners over medium-high heat, or preheat an outdoor gas or charcoal grill. Fold a few paper towels into a thick square. Blot some oil on the paper towels and then carefully and quickly wipe the ridges of the gill pan or the hot grates of the grill to make a non-stick surface.

Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and season with salt and pepper. Lay the chicken on the hot grill and cook 3 to 5 minutes on each side until charred and firm. Serve with the sesame noodles and cucumber pickles.

    Made this a few years ago. I lost the recipe! This was my 11 yo favorite and was disappointed that I couldnt make it again (he is so picky!. Well I moved last month and in the process of packing I FOUND IT! Making it tonight and will surprise him. This is very good and I am going to try the 2 recommended sides as well.

    I thought that this marinade was perfect - I could taste the ginger and garlic. It was not overpowered by the soy. I think that you have to use common sense when adding the ingredients. If it seems like too much soy for your protein, scale it down. My boyfriend also loved this simple dish. I will definitely make it again.
