Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, minced garlic, brown sugar, and lime juice to create the marinade.
- Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade. Let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours for more flavor).
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if baking or heat a skillet/grill over medium-high heat.

- Serve hot, drizzling with any boiled-down remaining marinade as a sauce.
