Preparation method
Prep: 20 mins | Cook: 15 mins1.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the soy sauce, oil, honey, ginger root and garlic. Heat in microwave on medium for 1 minute, then stir. Heat again for 30 seconds, watching closely to prevent boiling.
2.
Place chicken breasts in a shallow dish. Pour soy sauce mixture over, and set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.
3.
Preheat barbecue for medium-high heat. Drain marinade from chicken into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, and simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes. Set aside for basting.
4.
Lightly oil cooking grate. Cook chicken on the barbecue 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until juices run clear. Baste frequently with remaining marinade. Chicken will turn a beautiful golden brown.
Tip:
If you're not cooking on your barbecue, why not try this marinade on chicken prepared under your oven's grill?

Altered ingredient amounts.
This recipe was alright, but lacked the true bento flavour I was after. I made a few changes: doubled the marinade, marinaded overnight and cooked on the hob. I also recommend using sodium reduced soy sauce as it was very salty. I will not be making this again.

Something else.
This is an excellent marinade. I omitted all the directions...instead I mixed up the ingredients and put them in a large plastic bag..didn't cook ingredients first. I marinated the chicken for 4 hours. Then I baked it ...I didn't bother to baste it...it turns a beautiful golden brown. I removed the ginger before baking. Also, instead of crushing the garlic, I minced it...yum! One thing I will do next time is put foil in the pan that I'm baking in...makes washing up much easier. This is very moist and tender.

Altered ingredient amounts.
I give this one 5 stars. I thought it was a very easy recipe and resulted in an excellent chicken. Reminded me of an Japanese restaraunt I used to go to. I made everything as the recipe stated, except I doubled the marinade. This left me plenty for basting and drizzling. I also sprinkled sesame seeds on the sliced chicken. I served over Jasmine rice. Highly recommended.
