Ginger Garlic Asian Grilled Chicken | PERDUE®

Step 1

In a small saucepan, combine the sherry, tamari soy sauce or coconut aminos, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic and ginger. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes. Place chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag. Pour half of the sherry sauce over the chicken. Seal the bag and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Use the other half of the sauce for stir-frying the vegetables and for serving.

Step 2

Remove the chicken from the sauce letting the excess drip away. Lightly brush the chicken with 1 tablespoon olive oil and place on a pre-heated grill or grill pan. Turn the chicken every 1 to 2 minutes and baste with the sherry sauce with every turn. Continue grilling until the chicken is done and a meat thermometer inserted in the center reaches 170°F, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the grill and let it rest for 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 3

Place all of the vegetables in a large bowl. Toss to coat with the remaining olive oil. Heat a wok or grilling basket over high heat. Add the vegetables and stir fry for 3 to 5 minutes until vegetables are charred and caramelized. During the last minute of cooking, toss the vegetables with enough of the sherry sauce to lightly coat.

Step 4

Serve chicken and vegetables over rice with extra sherry sauce on the side, desired.
