Korean Grilled Chicken Breasts

 Skinnytaste.com has some good recipes.  Here is another one I found which I modified just a bit.  We need more garlic, people!

We had these in a lettuce wrap, which was delish.  We cut the chicken in thin strips with thinly sliced raw red pepper, radish, carrots, and zucchini with the green onion garnish.  Nice.

Korean Grilled Chicken Breast

1 pound of chicken breasts, cut lengthwise or pounded to 1/2 inch thick

1/4 c. soy sauce

1/4 c. unsweetened apple sauce (use this recipe if you want to make your own--I did!)

1/4 c. finely chopped yellow onion (I prefer a sweet Vidalia onion.  yellow onions don't work well for me)

1 t. sesame oil

1 t. grated ginger 

1 T. brown sugar

3-4 cloves garlic, minced

slightly less than 1 t. red pepper flakes (optional, but is it, really?)

1 t. sesame seeds, plus more for garnishing if you like

2 thinly sliced scallions for garnishing

In bowl, combine the soy sauce, apple sauce, onion, sesame oil, ginger, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, and sesame seeds.  Reserve 1/4 c. of the marinade.  Pour the rest in a ziploc bag with the chicken and marinate for at least a couple hours.

Over a medium-high heat, grill the chicken for 3-4 minutes or until it no longer sticks to the grill.  Flip the chicken and baste with the reserved marinade. Grill for another 3-4 minutes.

Garnish and enjoy.
