Doesn't it seem like some people are just naturally affable, and can pretty much hit it off with anyone they meet? It's a rare gift, but those who possess it can walk into a pub or diner or bistro anywhere in the world and make half a dozen friends within 30 minutes — and they don't even need to speak the language!

Chicken is a little bit like that. You can pair it with flavors or cuisines from anywhere around the world — whether it's a Mexican mole, an Indian tikka masala or a classic Italian piccata sauce. Regardless of its surroundings, the humble chicken breast will always be right at home.

This recipe for grilled chicken with sesame and ginger is a great example. It blends sweet, salty and aromatic flavors into a simple but sophisticated Asian-inspired dish. And the best part is, it requires almost no work at all. Just mix up the marinade, let the chicken breasts absorb the flavors and in just a few hours, they're ready for the grill. Enjoy!
