Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 10 grams Dried seaweed
- 4 tablespoons Tamari soy sauce (gluten-free)
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 pieces Spring onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds, toasted
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Rehydrate the dried seaweed by soaking it in warm water for about 10 minutes. Once soft, drain and chop the seaweed into small pieces.
In a mixing bowl, combine the tamari soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, sesame oil, honey, chopped seaweed, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the surface is golden brown.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, slice each breast into strips.
Serve the chicken garnished with chopped spring onions and toasted sesame seeds for an added crunch and burst of flavor.
