Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
• 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger (grated)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 1 piece Tomato (sliced)
• 0.5 piece Red onion (thinly sliced)
• 2 pieces Sandwich buns (toasted)
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, rice vinegar, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are fully coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.

Step 3

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and grill for 5-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Sprinkle sesame seeds over the chicken during the last minute of cooking.

Step 5

While the chicken grills, toast the sandwich buns on the grill or in a toaster oven until golden brown.

Step 6

Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on each half of the toasted buns.

Step 7

Assemble the sandwich by layering lettuce leaves, grilled chicken, tomato slices, and red onion on the bottom half of the bun. Top with the other half of the bun.

Step 8

Serve the sandwiches warm with your favorite side, such as a salad or sweet potato fries. Enjoy!
