Ingredients

Scale

For the chicken:

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

For the snap pea panzanella:

  • 2 cups sugar snap peas, trimmed and halved
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 cups crusty bread cubes (day-old, about 1-inch pieces)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce

Instructions

  1. For the chicken: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes. Grill for 5-6 minutes per side. Let rest before slicing.
