Provided by CANDIELIPS

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes     Healthy

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup soy sauce
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts

Steps:

  • In a large, nonporous bowl, combine the garlic and the soy sauce. Add the chicken and turn to coat well. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality soy sauce. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Look for a soy sauce that is naturally brewed and has a rich, complex flavor.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken breast is a lean meat, so it can easily become dry and tough if it's overcooked. Cook it over medium heat until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Make the watercress pasta salad ahead of time. This will give the flavors time to meld and develop. You can also make the mango-lime purée ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Serve the dish warm or at room temperature. This dish is best served warm or at room temperature, so that the flavors can really shine through.

Conclusion:

This soy-marinated chicken breast with watercress pasta salad and mango-lime purée is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, the pasta salad is light and refreshing, and the mango-lime purée adds a pop of sweetness and acidity. This dish is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
