Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 3 sheets dried nori sheets
- 1 tablespoon ginger
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup water
Instructions
Finely chop the garlic cloves and grate the ginger.
In a small bowl, mix the ginger, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well-coated. Marinate for at least 20 minutes.
Soak the nori sheets in 1 cup of water for 5 minutes to soften.
Preheat your grill or frying pan over medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and shake off any excess.
Wrap each chicken breast with a softened nori sheet.
Add olive oil to the grill or frying pan, ensuring it's well-coated.
Place the nori-wrapped chicken onto the grill or pan and cook for 8-10 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and the nori is crispy.
Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
