Chicken Teriwacky-Looneyspoons Cookbook

Marinade-
2 T. reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 T. freshly squeezed lime juice
2 T. honey
2 T. ketchup
2 T. minced green onions with the white parts
1 T. grated gingerroot
2 tsp. grated orange zest
1 tsp. minced garlic

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 T. toasted sesame seeds
Whisk together all marinade ingredients in a small bowl.  Place chicken breasts in a large, heavy duty, resealable bag.  Add marinade and seal bag.  Turn bag several times to coat chicken with marinade.  Marinate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible.
Remove chicken from marinade and cook on grill.  Dispose of marinade.  Serve chicken sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds.  I sprayed a small skillet with non-stick spray and toasted to sesame seeds that way.  I served this with grilled asparagus and squash.
