Grilled chicken with soy lime sauce is a flavorful and healthy dish that can be prepared in under an hour. The combination of soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, and ginger creates a tangy and savory marinade that infuses the chicken with flavor. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a backyard barbecue. The marinade can be adjusted to taste, so you can make it as mild or spicy as you like. Serve the grilled chicken with steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.

Steps:
- Whisk together lime juice, soy sauce, and oil in a bowl. Place chicken breasts on a work surface between two layers of waxed paper or plastic wrap. Using the smooth side of a meat pounder, pound the chicken breasts until all the pieces are an even 1/2-inch thickness.
- Place chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or glass baking dish. Pour marinade into bag or over chicken in dish. Refrigerate at least 3 hours or overnight.
- Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off. Grill chicken until cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Shred or slice chicken, and serve with lettuce leaves and herbs on the side. See the top left tin image for reference.
GRILLED CHICKEN BREAST WITH GINGER AND SOY
Steps:
- Combine the 1 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons sesame oil, half of the lime juice, ginger, and garlic, and 1/4 cup cilantro in the bottom of each of 2 large freezer bags. Put 2 chicken breasts in each bag and get them coated with the marinade. Then set the bags on a work surface, force the air out and seal them. Allow chicken to marinade for 1 hour. You can also freeze the chicken right in the marinade at this point. To do so fold each bag over the chicken 3 times, tape them well, and date them. Put it in the freezer for up to 2 months.
- Place a large grill pan on 2 burners over medium-high heat, or preheat an outdoor gas or charcoal grill. Fold a few paper towels into a thick square. Blot some oil on the paper towels and then carefully and quickly wipe the ridges of the gill pan or the hot grates of the grill to make a non-stick surface.
- Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and season with salt and pepper. Lay the chicken on the hot grill and cook 3 to 5 minutes on each side until charred and firm. Serve with the sesame noodles and cucumber pickles.

GRILLED SESAME LIME CHICKEN BREASTS
Brining chicken breasts in a soy sauce and fish sauce marinade flecked with lime adds flavor and helps retain moisture while they are on the grill. Chicken breasts do particularly well when pounded into an even thickness and cooked quickly over a hot fire, which chars the exterior but keeps them juicy inside. But if you or anyone in your clan would prefer dark meat to white, this recipe will also work with boneless, skinless thighs, though you might have to add a minute or so to the cooking time. Or use a combination of breasts and thighs. Serve these with a cucumber salad and grilled eggplant in the heart of summer.
