Soy and Garlic Sauce Marinated Chicken Breasts
Ever since I started exploring culinary delights from Asia, this Soy and Garlic Marinated Chicken recipe has been a constant staple. It's a healthy and delectable way to serve chicken, brimming with tangy and savory flavors, and absolutely delicious. Marination is key; I found it enriches the chicken with an awesome blend of taste and aroma which only gets better as it sears. It's one of my favorite ways to introduce friends to the tantalizing tastes of Asian cuisine.

Directions
In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the soy sauce, minced garlic, brown sugar, grated ginger, sesame oil, and vinegar. This is your marinade. You want this marinade a bit tangy and sweet, a perfect mingling of flavors, so don't skimp on the garlic or ginger.
Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they're completely covered. I've found that marinating the chicken for at least 2 hours really intensifies the flavor, but if you have extra time, leave it overnight for a more profound taste experience.
Heat some oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot remove the chicken from the marinade (but reserve the marinade, you'll need it) and place it in the skillet.
Cook each side of the chicken for about 7 minutes. As chicken breasts can vary a lot in size, you'll want each piece to reach an internal temperature of 165°F to ensure it's adequately cooked.
Meanwhile, bring the reserved marinade to a boil over medium heat. Simmer it for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes a thicker sauce, perfect for drizzling over the cooked chicken.
Once the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened, serve the chicken garnished with the sauce, some green onions, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
