Ingredients

750g / 1.5 lb chicken thigh fillets (, boneless and skinless (5 - 6 pieces) (Note 1))
3 garlic cloves (, minced)
1/3 cup (85ml) soy sauce (, ordinary all purpose or light (not dark soy sauce, Note 2))
1/3 cup + 2 tbsp white vinegar
4 bay leaves (fresh) or 3 dried
2 tbsp oil (, separated (vegetable, canola or peanut))
3 garlic cloves (, minced)
1 small brown onion (, diced)
1 1/2 cups (375 ml) water
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp whole black pepper ((sub 2 tsp coarse cracked pepper))
2 green onions/scallions (, sliced (garnish))

Steps:

Combine Chicken and Marinade ingredients in a bowl. Marinate for at least 20 minutes, or up to overnight.
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over high heat. Remove chicken from marinade (reserve marinade) and place in the pan. Sear both sides until browned - about 1 minute on each side. Do not cook the chicken all the way through.
Remove chicken skillet and set aside.
Heat the remaining oil in skillet. Add garlic and onion, cook 1 1/2 minutes.
Add the reserved marinade, water, sugar and black pepper. Bring it to a simmer then turn heat down to medium high. Simmer 5 minutes.
Add chicken smooth side down. Simmer uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes (no need to stir), turning chicken at around 15 minutes, until the sauce reduces down to a thick jam-like syrup.
If the sauce isn't thick enough, remove chicken onto a plate and let the sauce simmer by itself - it will thicken much quicker - then return chicken to the skillet to coat in the glaze.
Coat chicken in glaze then serve over rice. Pictured in post as a healthy dinner plate (415 calories) with cauliflower rice and Ginger Smashed Cucumbers.

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

4 (6-ounce) chicken breasts, trimmed, cleaned
1/2 cup red chile flakes
6 cloves garlic, minced
4 tablespoons minced fresh oregano
1 3/4 cups water
Salt and ground black pepper
1 cup diced tomato
1 cup medium diced white onion
5 green chiles, very finely minced (remove seed and ribs for a milder salsa)
1 cup gently packed cilantro, roughly chop
2 large cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup lime juice
1/2 cup Cuervo 1800 tequila

Steps:

For the marinade, combine all ingredients in a blender and puree for two minutes on medium speed. Strain marinade through a fine sieve. Let chicken breasts sit in marinade, refrigerated, overnight. The following day, on a hot grill, grill the marinated chicken until thoroughly cooked, about 10 to 12 minutes depending on the thickness of the chicken.
For the salsa, in a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients and it's ready to serve.
For the presentation, spoon a serving of the salsa on the plate. Cut the grilled chicken breast on an angle and fan out on plate next to salsa.
