Grilled Spicy Sesame Chicken With Sauteed Onions
Ready In: 1 hr 15 mins
Serves: 6-8
Ingredients
- 6 -10 chicken breasts
- 2 cups light soy sauce
- 1⁄2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1⁄4 cup dark sesame oil
- 1 lime, juice of
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 2 habanero peppers, seeded and chopped (can use jalapenos)
- 1 large white onion, sliced
Directions
- Trim each chicken breast and cut into thirds.
- Place several peices of the chicken into a ziploc and pound until thin - about 1/2" thick.
- Place the pounded chicken breasts into one or two ziplocs.
- Slice the onion and put in the bag(s).
- Add all remaining ingredients.
- Marinate no longer than 2 hours and as little as 1/2 an hour.
- Pull the chicken out of the bag - do NOT discard the onions.
- Grill the chicken over medium heat, watching closely not to over cook -- they will cook fast because they've been pounded thin. Maybe 5 minutes per side -- again just watch closely.
- While the chicken is grilling drain the onions discarding the marinade and saute them on the stove top or over the grill in a vegetable basket.
- You shouldn't need any oil there will be plenty coated on the onions.
- This will take about 15 minutes.
- Cook them to your desired doneness -- I like mine soft.
- I often do the onions while my husband grills the chicken.
- The onions will be spicy with the chopped pepper in them.
- We serve the onions over the chicken.
