- 1 1/2 pounds (750g) boneless and skinless chicken tenders, breasts, or thighs
- 1 pinch salt
- 3 dashes white pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro or scallion for garnish, optional
Marinade:
- 3 tablespoons light soy sauce

Instructions
- Lightly season the chicken with salt and white pepper. Combine all the ingredients for the Marinade and marinate the chicken for 15-30 minutes.

Seal the edges of the foil tightly to form a parcel. Make sure there is no leakage from the sides of the parcels.

- Garnish the chicken with the chopped cilantro or scallion and serve with warm steamed rice.
Notes
If you prefer, you can also use boneless and skinless chicken breast or thighs. Score each the meat a few times with a knife before marinating.
