Korean Chicken

Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in half lengthwise, from 2 breasts
  • 1/4 cup low sodium or gluten-free soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped yellow onion
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, plus more for topping
  • 2 thinly sliced scallions, white and green parts only

Cooking Instructions

Step 1: Place chicken breasts, 1 at a time, in a Ziploc bag.  Pound the chicken breast to an even thickness, about 1/2-inch thick, being careful not to puncture the bag.

Step 2: In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, apple sauce, onion, sesame oil, ginger, brown sugar, garlic, red pepper flakes, if using, and sesame seeds.  Reserve 1/4 cup of the marinade and transfer the remainder to the Ziploc bag with the chicken.  Refrigerate and marinate for at least 1 hour.

Step 3: Over medium-high heat, grill the chicken for 2 to 3 minutes or until it no longer sticks to the grill.  Turn the chicken, spoon the reserved 1/4 cup of marinade over each breast and grill and additional 2 to 3 minutes.
