Ingredients
8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (each about 8 ounces)
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 small garlic clove, grated
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Preparation
Place chicken breasts between two layers of plastic wrap and lightly pound them to an even thickness (about 1/2 inch). Let stand at room temperature about 30 minutes.
While chicken rests, whisk together ketchup, hoisin, brown sugar, lime juice, sesame oil, and garlic.
Season both sides of chicken with salt and pepper. Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking; let grates get very hot (this ensures a good sear without drying out meat).
Oil grates and cook chicken, turning occasionally, until charred in places and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes total. In the last 2 to 3 minutes of cooking, brush hoisin mixture over both sides of chicken, turning occasionally; serve.
