Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breast fillets
- 2 tablespoons Vegemite
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Begin by patting the chicken breast fillets dry with a paper towel. Set them aside while preparing the glaze.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the Vegemite, honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, and ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly until you achieve a smooth glaze.
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken fillets to the pan.
Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C). Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside on a plate.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the prepared Vegemite glaze into the same pan. Let it cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the glaze slightly thickens.
Return the cooked chicken fillets to the pan, ensuring they are evenly coated with the glaze. Allow the chicken to simmer in the glaze for an additional 2-3 minutes, flipping once to coat both sides thoroughly.
Once the chicken is fully glazed and shiny, transfer it to serving plates. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes. Enjoy your Glazed Vegemite Chicken Fillets!
