A gas grill is a beautiful thing. It makes dinner such a breeze, as long as you have a good marinade for your meat!
Last night I tried out Ken’s Steak House No Sodium Sesame Ginger marinade, and was pleasantly surprised. The marinated grilled chicken was delicious!
I marinated my 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts for 3.5 hours in the fridge, after pounding them flat in a plastic zip bag. I got a mini workout pounding the chicken with my meat mallet!
Around the dinner hour, I preheated my gas grill for 15 minutes and scraped off the grill. The chicken sizzled when I placed it on the hot grill with my tongs (it should have, since I set the grill on ‘high’). After about 10 minutes total on the grill, I took the chicken off and let it rest (covered with foil) for 10 minutes on a clean platter. A side salad, rice, and fresh pineapple made the grilled chicken dinner complete and scrumptious. On hot summer nights, a fast dinner and easy cleanup is a must.
What are your favorite things to grill?
Sesame and ginger are naturals for marinades especially for chicken breast. It’s good to know that the grilling can be so quick-10 minutes total, but also to let the meat rest just a few minutes afterwards. Minimal cleanup sounds good to me also.
Yes, MD, you’re right about sesame and ginger being naturals for marinades. Whenever a marinade has ginger in it I know there a high probability I will like it!
Marinade is a must with boneless white chicken meat! And the chicken definitely cooks up more quickly and evenly when you flatten it out with the mallet. Good stuff!
I agree, Arthur! Boneless skinless chicken really needs a good marinade, so it isn’t tough to eat.
