Wasabi Sesame Grilled Chicken

I absolutely love the flavour of Wasabi and the sesame flavoured chicken really accents it well.

3 tbsp sodium reduced soy sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
1/2 tsp wasabi powder or paste
750 g boneless skinless chicken breast
1 cup sticky rice
2 cups vegetable broth
2 tbsp fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped
1 tsp toasted sesame seeds

WASABI SAUCE
1/4 cup light mayonnaise
3 tbsp rice vinegar
1 small clove garlic, minced
1/4 tsp wasabi powder or paste

• Wasabi sauce:  in a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, vinegar, garlic and wasabi powder.  Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• In a large resealable bag, mix together soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger and wasabi powder.  Add chicken, close bag and move around to coat evenly.  Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours.
• Place chicken on greased grill over medium heat and grill for about 12 minutes turning once or until no longer pink inside and thermometer reads 77C.  Let stand 5 minutes before slicing
• Meanwhile in a saucepan bring rice and broth to boil,  reduce heat to low, cover and cook for about 20 minutes or until rice is tender and broth is absorbed.  Stir in cilantro.
• Divide rice among 6 plates and top with sliced chicken.  Drizzle with wasabi sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
