How to Make Gingered Chicken

  1. Preheat your broiler to high heat.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 1 teaspoon honey, and 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil.
  3. Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, pound the chicken to 1/4 inch thickness. This ensures even cooking.
  4. Place the chicken breasts on a broiler pan 5 inches from the heat source. Broil for 5 minutes per side, basting frequently with the ginger sauce.
  5. Continue broiling for another 2-3 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
  6. Remove the chicken from the broiler and let it rest for 2 minutes before slicing. Serve immediately over rice or quinoa, garnished with 2 tablespoons of chopped green onions.
