Here’s a recipe for Soy Sauce Chicken:
Ingredients:
- 4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)
- Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
- Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure it’s evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or preferably overnight for more flavor.
- Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off any excess, and place it on the grill. Reserve the marinade for later.
- Cook the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and no longer pink in the center. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts.
- While the chicken is cooking, transfer the reserved marinade to a small saucepan. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth. Add the cornstarch mixture to the saucepan with the marinade.
- Heat the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and comes to a simmer. Continue cooking for an additional minute to ensure the cornstarch is fully cooked.
- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the chicken into thin strips.
- Drizzle the thickened marinade sauce over the chicken, or you can serve it on the side as a dipping sauce.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
- Serve the soy sauce chicken with steamed rice or your favorite side dishes.
