Sesame-Ginger Grilled Chicken Breasts

This grilled chicken recipe combines sweet, salty, and aromatic flavors into a simple but sophisticated Asian-inspired dish. The fresh ginger gives it a little kick, while the sesame and honey help to mellow it out. After a few hours in the marinade, the chicken is put on the grill for just a few minutes a side, making this the ideal dish for a busy weeknight but delicious enough for sharing with guests.

Serve simply with grilled vegetables and rice or slice over a bed of noodles and julienned vegetables tossed in a little bit of the marinade.
