1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
1 tbsp firmly packed brown sugar
1 tbsp plus 2 tsp minced fresh ginger, divided

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine cilantro, vegetable oil, soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, 1 tbsp ginger, sesame oil, and garlic. Add chicken; seal bag, and refrigerate for 2 hours.

Preheat grill to medium-high heat (350 to 400 degrees F). Spray grill with nonstick nonflammable cooking spray.

Remove chicken from marinade, discarding marinade. Grill chicken, covered with grill lid, for 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until chicken is no longer pink in center. Cool chicken for 10 minutes; cut into 1/2 inch pieces.
