This great asian flavored chicken recipe mixes wonderful cilantro with scallions, garlic, and is topped off with tangy soy sauce!   

4 teriyaki flavored, pre-marinated chicken breast halves

1 cup packed cilantro leaves

4 scallions

2 cloves garlic

1/4 cup soy sauce

4 tsps sesame oil, divided

1/4 tsp pepper
