  Prepare the chicken breast

  Remove the skin from the chicken breast you bought, rinse it with water, then rub salt evenly over the piece of breast and rinse again with clean water to eliminate any fishy smell, let it drain or use a clean towel to dry it.

  Then, cut the chicken breast into large pieces about 1.5 – 2cm thick.

  Tip for preparing chicken breast to remove odor:

  • After rubbing with salt, you can use a mixture of alcohol and sliced ginger, pounding it gently while rubbing and kneading the whole piece of breast again, helping to completely eliminate any odor and impurities. Rinse thoroughly and let it drain.
  • Alternatively, you can add lemon to the water, soak the chicken breast for 15 – 20 minutes. After that, take it out, rinse with cold water, and let it drain.

  Grilling chicken breast

  Preheat the electric grill for about 5 minutes to ensure an even temperature across the grill surface.

  Then, place the chicken on the grill. Next, dip the vegetables into the bowl of marinade used to marinate the chicken breast, mix well, and then pick them out to place on the grill alongside the chicken breast.

  Grill the chicken breast until the bottom side is golden, then flip the chicken breast, brush on a layer of teriyaki sauce, and continue grilling until the other side is golden to complete.

  Tip: During grilling, avoid flipping the meat too many times (maximum 3 times) to preserve the flavor!
