Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 30 grams dried seaweed
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 whole, minced garlic cloves
- 1 inch, grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 stalks, thinly sliced green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Start by rehydrating the dried seaweed: Place the seaweed in a bowl and cover it with warm water. Let it soak for about 10 minutes until soft. Drain and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or zip-top bag and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the chicken is well coated. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the marinated chicken breasts. Sear them for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. You may need to do this in batches if your skillet can't fit all the chicken at once.
Transfer the seared chicken to a baking dish and scatter the rehydrated seaweed over and around the chicken.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
Serve the high protein seaweed chicken hot, accompanied by steamed rice or your choice of sides.
