Provided by Marie

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup teriyaki sauce
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 smashed garlic cloves
2 teaspoons sesame oil

Steps:

  • Mix together teriyaki sauce, lemon juice, garlic and sesame oil in a large plastic bag and place chicken breasts in it.
  • Seal bag, and shake to coat.
  • Place in refrigerator for 6 to 8 hours (or up to 24), turning occasionally.
  • Preheat grill for high heat.
  • Lightly oil the grill grate.
  • Remove chicken from bag, discarding any remaining marinade.
  • Grill for 6 to 8 minutes each side or until juices run clear when chicken is pierced with a fork.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are both good choices for this recipe. If you're using chicken breasts, pound them to an even thickness so they cook evenly.
  • Make sure your grill is hot: The best way to get perfectly grilled chicken is to start with a hot grill. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before adding the chicken.
  • Don't overcrowd the grill: If you overcrowd the grill, the chicken will not cook evenly. Leave some space between each piece of chicken so that the heat can circulate.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: The best way to tell if the chicken is cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

This grilled chicken citrus teriyaki recipe is a delicious and easy way to enjoy grilled chicken. The citrus teriyaki marinade gives the chicken a sweet and tangy flavor that is sure to please everyone. Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as rice, vegetables, or salad.
