This Asian Grilled Chicken recipe is the perfect excuse to fire up the grill or use your indoor grill pan for a delicious, high-protein dinner idea!
I love making this tasty Asian-inspired grilled chicken recipe during warm weather, as it’s great for outdoor gatherings and family dinners. Marinating the chicken overnight yields the most flavorful results. This dish can also be enjoyed year-round on a grill pan.
If you’re a fan of Asian flavors, you’ll love this recipe. It’s versatile, easy to make, and pairs well with various side dishes like rice and broccoli. The marinade keeps the chicken juicy and delicious, making it a healthy, high-protein, dairy-free, gluten-free (if using tamari and GF teriyaki), and Weight Watchers-friendly option.
The marinade consists of 9 ingredients, including chicken breast, lemon juice, toasted sesame seeds, garlic, green onions, ginger, low-sodium soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, honey, and sesame oil.
To grill the chicken perfectly, marinate it for at least 3 hours or overnight, then grill on a medium-low heat grill or grill pan until cooked through. Garnish with sesame seeds and scallions for a finishing touch.
This recipe is also versatile, allowing for variations like using boneless, skinless thighs, seafood, or different sweeteners. Serve the grilled Asian chicken with a variety of sides like salads, grilled vegetables, rice, or skewers.
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days or frozen for 3 months. Enjoy this flavorful and healthy Asian Grilled Chicken any time of year!
