Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp freshly grated ginger
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes.
Place chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour half of the marinade over them. Seal the bag and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through.

Slice the grilled chicken and serve over the stir-fried vegetables. Garnish with green onions, cilantro, and sesame seeds.
