Asian BBQ Chicken

You know those recipes you immediately call and tell your best friend to make? Well, this was one of them. Not only did I call my best friend, but I told my mom, sister, and sister in laws to make it! Honestly it’s a quick marinade and grilled chicken that you can use for 2 meals. I always double the marinade and grill an extra piece of chicken and use it on THIS BBQ Chicken Alfredo Pizza the next day. I promise you won’t regret it! It is beyond amazing.

1/4 C packed brown sugar

1/4 C soy sauce

2 Tbs lime juice

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

1/4 tsp curry powder

4 garlic cloves, minced

1 tsp grated fresh ginger

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

½ tsp cornstarch

Combine everything except the chicken and cornstarch  in a small bowl. Whisk to dissolve the brown sugar. Place marinade and chicken in a zip-lock bag. Place in fridge for a minimum of 4 hours, or longer if you have it.

Preheat a grill. Remove chicken from marinade and pour reserved marinade into a saucepan. Cook chicken for 5-10 minutes on each side depending on the thickness.

While chicken is cooking, heat reserved marinade and add cornstarch to reserved marinade in saucepan, stirring constantly. Cook for 5 minutes or until slightly thickened.

Serve chicken over rice or quinoa with extra sauce.

NOTE: Double the marinade and grill an extra piece of chicken and use it on THIS BBQ Chicken Alfredo Pizza the next day. I promise you won’t regret it! It is beyond amazing.
