For the marinade
3 Tbsp soy sauce
Juice from 1/2 a lime
1 garlic clove, minced
Pinch of sugar
Salt and black pepper to taste

Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook on a griddle pan over medium high heat for 5 to 6 minutes per side, turning a few times.

While the chicken is cooking, boil or steam vegetables of your choice.

Make a dressing for the vegetables by combining 3 parts of olive oil, 1 part of soy sauce, 1 part of lime juice and salt to taste. Drizzle the dressing over the vegetables and serve with the chicken breasts.
