Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 shiso leaves, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sesame seeds for garnish
- Sliced green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and honey. Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Cook the Chicken: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and discard the excess marinade. Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
- Add Shiso Flavor: During the last few minutes of cooking, sprinkle the finely chopped shiso leaves over the chicken breasts, allowing them to wilt slightly and infuse their flavor into the chicken.
- Serve: Remove the chicken from the grill and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve hot with rice or your favorite side dishes.
