Ingredients for Asian Grilled Chicken Breasts

  • Olive Oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • Garlic Cloves
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • Dijon Mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Fresh Ground Black Pepper
  • Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts

How to Make Asian Grilled Chicken Breasts

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Place chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour marinade over chicken, ensuring both sides are coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Clean the grates to prevent sticking.
  4. Grill chicken breasts for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Cooking time will depend on the thickness of your chicken breasts.
  5. Remove chicken from grill and let rest for 2-3 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender chicken.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
