  2. Whisk together sesame oil, lime juice, rice vinegar, and an optional sweetener for the dressing, adjusting to taste.
Grilling and Assembling
  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (375°F to 400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates.
  2. Grill marinated chicken for approximately 6-7 minutes on each side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

  4. Serve your Sesame-Grilled Chicken Garden Delight immediately for the best flavor.
