Healthy Asian Grilled Chicken
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 -2 LBS boneless, chicken breasts
- 4 Tbsp coconut aminos
- 2 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 TBSP grated ginger
- 1 Tbsp coconut sugar
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 scallion, chopped
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk all marinade ingredients. Pour into a gallon-size resealable bag or large dish and add the chicken. Make sure the chicken is covered. Store in the refrigerator for at least one hour up to 1 day. For the Stove:Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat. Add 1 Tbsp oil, and lower heat to medium high. Place chicken breasts in the skillet. Cook of 4 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate, tent with foil and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.For the Grill:Preheat your gas grill with all burners on high and close the lid. When the grill is hot (after about 15 minutes), turn the 2 burners closest to the front to low, keeping the back burner on high. Remove the chicken from the bag and arrange on the grates over the low heat burners. Cover and cook until the underside of the chicken is just beginning to develop light grill marks, 6 to 9 minutes. Flip the chicken, cover, and continue to cook until the chicken is firm to touch, 6 to 9 minutes longer. To get a nice char on the chicken, now move the chicken to the part of the grill over high flames and cook uncovered until each side has solid grill marks, 5 to 6 minutes, flipping halfway. The chicken should be completely firm to the touch and register 160 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Transfer the chicken to a plate, tent with foil, and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
