Description

Transport yourself to a tropical paradise with this vibrant and flavorful dish! Imagine tender, thinly sliced chicken breasts, infused with the tantalizing aromas of Asia. A symphony of ginger, garlic, and sesame seeds dances on your palate with each bite.

The secret lies in the marinade, where intensely flavored citrus juices work their magic, creating a delightful crispiness and beautiful caramelization on the chicken. Served alongside this culinary masterpiece is a refreshing ginger-lemon salad. You have the option to keep the salad separate for a more pronounced crunch, but consider allowing the warm, buttery juices from the glazed chicken to mingle with the greens.

This combination creates an unforgettable experience, where the rich, savory chicken harmonizes with the bright, zesty salad. Inspired by the classic Hawaiian Huli Huli chicken, traditionally grilled and basted in a sweet citrus sauce, this recipe captures the essence of those island flavors. To achieve a similar effect, cook the chicken on high heat in a non-stick or cast-iron pan, or even on a rack in your oven.

The key is the Huli Huli sauce, which boasts a remarkable versatility. Thicken it to create a luscious glaze for any protein, or use it as a marinade to infuse your dishes with that signature tropical tang. A small amount of citrus juice, when thoughtfully incorporated, delivers the perfect burst of flavor without overwhelming the dish.

Share this exceptional creation with your loved ones, and let the taste of the islands bring a touch of sunshine to your table. It's a culinary adventure that will leave everyone craving more!

Instructions

    1.
    Prepare a thin-sliced, 4-oz chicken breast per serving by patting dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the chicken and arrange in the bottom of a Ziploc bag or a dish for marinating. Whisk together the chicken broth, pineapple juice, soy sauce, Worcestershire, rice vinegar, ketchup, garlic, ginger, sesame seeds, orange zest, and chopped green onion. Pour this marinade over the chicken and spread around in the bag or dish until the chicken is covered. Store airtight in your refrigerator to marinate for 4-6 hours.
    2.
    When you’re ready to cook, heat the first amount of olive oil in a wide non-stick pan or skillet over high heat. Place in the marinated chicken breasts, reserving the excess marinade in the bag. Cook the chicken openly on one side for 5-7 minutes, until a glossy brown glaze caramelizes on the chicken. Flip the chicken over and pour all excess marinade over the breasts. Place a lid over the chicken and cook on medium-low heat for another 5 or more minutes. Cook until the chicken has the same caramelized glaze. Flip the chicken a couple of times in the pan to pick up any additional glaze.
    3.
    While the chicken is nearing the end of cooking, quickly toss together the lettuce with diced cucumber and tomatoes and all remaining ingredients except the butter. Arrange the salad on a large serving plate and place the cooked chicken breasts on top of the salad.
    4.
    Return the pan to your stove over low heat and melt the butter in the pan. Gently stir the melted butter to pick up the crispy seasonings leftover from the chicken. Pour this seasoned butter glaze over the chicken and allow it to drip off onto the salad. Serve immediately.
