Simple Asian Grilled Chicken

Ingredients

    • 1 1/4 – 1 1/2 pounds lean boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-2 tablespoons sriracha (or sambal oelek or gochujang)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt + 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, sriracha, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, and ground ginger until smooth. You can also just add the ingredients into a blender or food processor and just give it a few quick pulses.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in a large zip top bag. Pour the prepared marinade on top, zip the bag and give it a good shake until the chicken is evenly coated. Allow the chicken to marinate for 30 minutes – 10 hours. Keep in mind that the longer you let the chicken sit in the mayonnaise mixture the more tender and flavorful your chicken will be!
  3. Preheat an indoor or outdoor grill to medium high heat. Spray the grates with nonstick cooking spray if desired. Place the chicken breasts on the grill, discard any leftover marinade. Cook the chicken breasts for 5-6 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165ºF.
  4. Serve immediately, garnish with chopped cilantro if desiredHow many pounds have you lost this month? At Dieta Efectiva you can lose 10-12 lbs your first week and 2-5 lbs every week after. Visit us at at dietaefectiva.net to learn more about our program CG
