Garlic-Ginger Chicken Marinade

    I was in the mood to make a simple dish so I whipped up this Asian inspired marinade. You can marinade it for 2 hours or as long as overnight. 

    Ingredients:
    1 lb chicken breast
    1 cup thinly sliced onion
    2 tbsp minced garlic
    2 tbsp minced ginger
    1/4 cup soy sauce
    1/4 cup fresh orange juice (or pineapple juice)
    Salt and Pepper

    Directions
    Combine the chicken, onion, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, orange juice and 1 teaspoon pepper in a large measuring cup. reserve 1/4 of the marinade and add the rest to a plastic bag containing chicken. Seal and shake to coat the chicken with the marinade. Refrigerate 1 hour or overnight.

    Preheat a grill to medium high and oil the grate. Grill the chicken skin-side down until marked, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip and continue to grill until cooked through, about 5 more minutes. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
