- Direction for sesame ginger grilled chicken:
- This is real simple!
- I save time by buying ready-to-use sesame ginger dressing for marinating the meats as shown in the photo.
- This marinade/dressing is one of my favorites.
- I picked this dressing because I like to have an Asian touch and it will tie in well with the creamy sauce that contains ginger.
- 1) Marinate chicken breast fillets for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- 2) Grill at 375 F heat for 10-15 minutes until its cooked through, or to your desired degree of doneness.
- 3) When its about done, brush the leftover marinade on both sides of chicken.
- Cook for a few minutes longer and turn off the grill.
- 4) Let the cooked chicken rest for about 10 minutes before cutting
- Directions for steamed rice:
- 1) If you have a rice cooker, this would be simple.
- Rinse the rice with water just to get rid of the starch.
- 2) The ratio of rice to water is always 1:1.
- If you have 4 cups of rice, then you will need 4 cups of water.
- Add water and rice to a rice cooker and turn it to on.
- After its cooked, let it sit for a few minutes before opening the lid.
- 3) If you dont have a rice cooker, you can simply use a medium sauce pan, and simmer it with a lid on for 25-30 minutes or so.
- After its cooked, turn off the heat and let it sit for a few minutes before opening a lid
- How to assemble:
- 1) Mix 1 cup of cooked steamed rice with 1/4 cup of the avocado sauce in separate bowl.
- Mix well until the sauce and rice are well incorporated
- 2) Place the mixed riced on a serving plate/bowl, add the chicken on top
- 3) Garnish with Feta cheese and cilantro if you wish.
