Prep Time: 5

Cook Time: 15

Total Time: 20

Yield: 4 servings

Course: Dinner, main dish

Cuisine: American, Asian

Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 24 oz)
2 teaspoons neutral oil (such as avocado)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon cumin
3 bunches scallions (about 20)
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce (or gluten-free soy sauce)
½ teaspoon ginger paste
toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
Cooked white rice (optional for serving)
Steamed Broccoli or Mixed greens (optional for serving)

Instructions

Preheat an outdoor grill to medium high heat.
Drizzle the chicken with the oil and season all over with salt, pepper, and cumin.
Transfer the chicken to one half of the preheated grill, smooth side down. Cook, undisturbed, until the chicken easily releases from the grill and is nicely charred, about 7 minutes. Flip the chicken and continue cooking until the chicken is cooked through and evenly charred. Remove from the grill. Slice right before serving.
Simultaneously, grill the scallions on the other side of the grill. Turn the green onions as necessary until they are softened and charred in places, 3-5 minutes. Remove from the grill and let cool slightly.
Once the green onions are cool enough to handle, trim off the root and any burnt ends. Chop the scallions and add them to a small mixing bowl. Add the sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and ginger to the bowl. Mix well to combine.
To serve, make bowls with mixed greens and rice. Top with sliced chicken and charred scallion sauce. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds

Notes

** sauce makes about ¾ cup.

You can double this if your thighs are small.

Protein options: Follow these instructions for grilling chicken breasts. You can also serve the sauce over pork, or fish.
