Step 1

In a small saucepan, combine the water, sherry (or chicken broth), soy sauce, cloves and ground ginger. Bringing them to a boil over medium heat, then cook the marinade for one minute. Allow it to cool for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Once the marinade has cooled, pour it into a shallow dish. Add the chicken breasts and turn to coat them in the sauce. Cover and refrigerate the chicken for at least two hours.

Step 3

Once the chicken has marinated for a few hours, it's time to grill. Drain and discard the marinade. Grill the chicken, covered, over medium heat until a thermometer reads 165ºF. It should take seven to eight minutes on each side.
