How to Make Grilled Chicken With Coriander Cilantro Sauce

  1. In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons fish sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1 clove minced garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably up to 2 hours.
  3. While chicken marinates, prepare the sauce: In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup rice vinegar, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup water, 1/2 cup packed fresh coriander leaves, 1/2 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and 1 minced garlic clove.
  4. Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium-low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
  5. Remove from heat and set aside. Roughly chop the coriander/cilantro mixture for a chunkier sauce, or leave it finely blended if preferred.
  6. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  7. Remove chicken from marinade and discard the marinade. Place chicken breasts on the preheated grill, about 6-8 inches from the heat source. Grill for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  8. Serve the grilled chicken immediately with the coriander-cilantro sauce and your favorite side dishes, such as fragrant rice or a fresh salad.
