Ingredients

  • ¼ cup soy sauce

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon dry sherry

  • 1 tablespoon orange juice

  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic

  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root

  • 2 teaspoons Chinese five-spice powder

  • 1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast, thinly sliced

Directions

  1. Whisk soy sauce, olive oil, sherry, orange juice, garlic, ginger, and Chinese five-spice powder together in a bowl; pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add chicken, coat with the marinade, squeeze bag to remove excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator at least 1 hour.

  2. Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

  3. Remove chicken slices from the marinade; shake to remove excess moisture. Discard remaining marinade.

  4. Grill chicken until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 3 minutes per side.
