Sesame-soy chicken

4 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 Garlic cloves; minced
1 tablespoon Grated gingerroot
3 tablespoons Soy sauce
¼ cup Honey
1 tablespoon Dark sesame oil
4 Skinless boneless chicken breast halves; pounded to an even thickness
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
½ teaspoon Black pepper
2 teaspoons Canola oil

Directions

Place the garlic, ginger, soy, honey, and sesame oil in a blender and puree. Place the chicken in a nonreactive shallow bowl, add the garlic mixture, and stir to combine. Cover and place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and no more than 4 hours.

Remove and discard as much of the marinade as possible. Sprinkle the chicken with the salt and pepper.

Place a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet over high heat and, when it is hot, add the canola oil. Add the chicken breasts, skinned side down, one at a time, waiting about 30 seconds between additions. Cook until well browned and done throughout, 5 to 7 minutes per side.
