Ingredients:

Serving

1 tsp orange zest
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp hot chili powder
1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
1 tbsp orange juice
2 lbs chicken breasts, boneless, skinless, pounded to an even thickness
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp asian seasoning

Directions:

Place the orange peel zest, garlic, ginger, chili powder, sesame oil and orange juice in a large non-reactive shallow bowl and stir to combine. Add the chicken and mix well. Cover and refrigerate at least 1/2 hour and up to overnight, mixing from time to time.
Remove and discard as much of the marinade as possible. Sprinkle the chicken with the salt and pepper. Prepare a grill or place a large cast iron or non-stick skillet over high heat and when it is hot, add the chicken breasts one at a time, waiting about 30 seconds between additions. Cook until well browned and cooked throughout, about 5 minutes per side.
Transfer the chicken to a platter, sprinkle with the Asian seasoning and serve immediately.
