- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated

Instructions
- Step: Preheat grill to high heat, or preheat oven to 425 F. In a large bowl, mix chicken marinade ingredients together. Add chicken thighs and marinate 10-15 minutes.
- Step: Meanwhile, cook jasmine rice according to package directions. Mix together ingredients for sesame slaw dressing, then set aside.
- Step: Add chicken to grill or frying pan. Cook on grill for 7 minutes, then flip and cook another 5 minutes depending on how large the thighs are. If using the oven method, bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 20 minutes or until chicken reaches 165 F in thickest part of thigh.

Notes
You can use chicken breasts or drumsticks instead of thighs. Store bowls in the fridge for up to 5 days. When reheating, cover the bowl with a damp paper towel and microwave for 1-2 mins. Raw marinated chicken can be frozen for 3 months.
