Grilled Soy Glazed Chicken Breasts

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts or 8 boneless chicken thighs
2 tbsp sweet soy sauce
2 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
1/2 tsp black pepper

1. Place a chicken breast between sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap. With a meat pounder or rolling pin, flatten chicken to 1/2 inch thickness. Place in a shallow dish and repeat with remaining chicken.
2. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, lime juice, oyster sauce, sesame oil and pepper. Pour over chicken. Turn chicken pieces to coat. Cover and refrigerate for up to 12 hours.
3. Grill chicken for 6-8 minutes, turning once, until no longer pink inside. Cut each breast crosswise into 5 or 6 pieces. Serve hot or warm.

If you can't find sweet soy sauce use two parts regular soy sauce and one part molasses.
This recipe is from Complete Book of Thai Cooking by Linda Stephen.
We tried this with chicken breast. I left it in the marinade for 24 hours and it was beyond good.

We had them with this dish.

Thanks for the tip about the heat, I was thinking that was quite a bit of cayenne, I planned on adjusting it down alot to just a few dashes. I like heat, but do not care for it to over power a dish! I certainly could never survive a bowl of real texan chili LOL, & I LOVE CHILI!

Sometimes I just crave a bowl of chili. I like to put chipotle peppers or some powdered in mine. I love that smokey taste it gives the chili.
