MARINADE

  1. Whisk together all of the marinade ingredients in a large bowl or Ziploc bag (whatever you are going to marinate your chicken in). *Reserve 3 tablespoons if making Vietnamese Noodle Bowls Recipe.* Add chicken to marinade and turn to evenly coat. 
  2. Marinate 30 minutes at room temperature up to 24 in the refrigerator.

SKILLET DIRECTIONS

  1. If chicken has been refrigerated, let sit at room temperature for 15-30 minutes (time permitting).
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat (you may need to work in batches). Remove chicken from marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Add chicken and cook, undisturbed for 3-4 minutes, or until nicely browned on one side. Turn chicken over, cover, and reduce heat to medium. Cook approximately 3-5 more minutes (depending on thickness of chicken), or until chicken is cooked through. Let chicken rest 5 minutes before slicing. 
GRILL DIRECTIONS
  1. If chicken has been refrigerated, let sit at room temperature for 15-30 minutes (time permitting).
  2. Grease and preheat the grill to medium heat, 375-450°F. Remove chicken from marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Grill chicken undisturbed for 5-7 minutes per side, or until chicken is cooked through. (An inserted thermometer should read 165 degrees F.) Let chicken rest 5 minutes before slicing.
