- 4 (4-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- 1/3 cup bourbon
- 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 3 Tbs brown sugar
- 2 Tbs hoisin sauce
- 1 tsp grated lime rind
- 2 Tbs fresh lime juice
- 2 tsp grated peeled fresh ginger

Preparation
Step 1
1. Place each chicken breast half between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap; pound to 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
2. Combine bourbon and next 9 ingredients (bourbon through garlic). Reserve 1/3 cup marinade. Pour remaining marinade into a zip-top plastic bag; add chicken. Seal and marinate in refrigerator 1 hour, turning occasionally.
3. Preheat grill to medium-hot using both burners.
4. Turn left burner off (leave right burner on). Remove chicken from bag; discard marinade. Coat grill rack with cooking spray. Place chicken on grill rack over right burner; grill 2 minutes on each side or until browned. Move chicken to grill rack over left burner. Cover and cook 5 minutes or until done. Slice each breast diagonally into thin strips; place chicken on a platter. Cover loosely with foil.
5. Combine water and cornstarch, stirring well with a whisk. Place reserved 1/3 cup marinade in a small saucepan; stir in cornstarch mixture. Bring to a boil; cook 15 seconds, stirring constantly. Drizzle sauce over chicken; sprinkle with sesame seeds.
