Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs
- 2 sheets Dried seaweed (nori sheets)
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
Finely chop the garlic and slice the green onions. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, honey, and lime juice to create a marinade.
Cut the nori sheets into thin strips using kitchen scissors.
In a large bowl, place the chicken thighs and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are fully coated. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken thighs on both sides until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from heat.
Transfer the seared chicken thighs to a baking dish.
Sprinkle the chopped garlic and sliced green onions over the chicken.
Add the nori strips and season with salt and black pepper.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the seaweed to become slightly crispy.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the Dairy-Free Seaweed Chicken hot, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
