Grilled Five Spice Chicken
Five Ingredients (Including Five Spice)
Chinese five spice is one of those things I haven’t had a ton of experience with until recently. We had some super tasty five spice popcorn chicken at a restaurant here in town and were immediately hooked. Naturally, I had to get a jar and try to make a slightly healthier version for myself!

YIELD
2 chicken breasts
Ingredients
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Juice from 1 lime
2 tsp Chinese five spice
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 tbsp olive oil
Chopped cilantro for garnish (if desired)
Directions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the juice from one lime, 2 teaspoons five spice, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, and 1 tablespoon olive oil.
Trim any excess fat from the chicken breast and place the breasts in the bowl with the marinade. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
Preheat the grill to medium high heat. Add the chicken to the grill and baste the two with a little extra marinade. Cook about 6 or 7 minutes each side until cooked through.
Garnish with cilantro if desired.
