  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (pounded to ¾ inch thickness)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup water
  • ⅓ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • ⅓ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce (or crushed red pepper flakes)
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine water, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, Sriracha sauce (or red pepper flakes), brown sugar, sesame oil, and minced garlic. Cover and simmer over medium heat for about 20 minutes until reduced by half.
  2. Thicken the Sauce: Uncover the saucepan and increase heat to medium-high. Stir regularly until the sauce thickens (about 8-10 minutes).
  3. Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill and lightly grease it. Season chicken with salt and pepper on both sides. Grill for 5-6 minutes on each side until fully cooked.
  4. Serve: Drizzle or toss grilled chicken with the prepared sauce and garnish with fresh parsley.
