  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp honey or brown sugar
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust for spice)

Instructions

  1. Whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, honey/brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes to make the marinade.
