πŸ— This Miso Chicken recipe offers a quick and flavorful way to prepare tender, savory chicken perfect for family dinners.
🍚 Combining miso, ginger, and garlic, it delivers rich umami flavor that will satisfy any palate.

  • Total Time: 20 to 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

– 1 Β½ lb boneless skinless chicken thighs

– 2 tablespoons white miso paste

– 2 tablespoons soy sauce

– 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

– 1 tablespoon honey (can be substituted with maple syrup, brown sugar, or granulated sugar)

– 1 tablespoon sesame oil

– 2 teaspoons minced garlic

– 1 teaspoon grated ginger (or ΒΌ teaspoon ginger powder)

– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or olive oil for cooking

– sesame seeds for garnish

– chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

1-Getting started with miso chicken: First, mix your marinade by whisking together the white miso paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger until it’s smooth and well blended. This takes just a few minutes and sets the stage for flavorful results.

2-Marinate the chicken: Once ready, place the chicken thighs in a dish or bag, coat them evenly with the marinade, and let them sit.

3-Marinating time: Marinating is key, so let the chicken rest for at least 15 minutes at room temperature or up to 8 hours in the fridge for deeper flavors.

4-Cooking the chicken: Next, heat your oil in a skillet over medium heat and add the chicken, making sure to save the extra marinade. Cook each side for about 5 to 6 minutes until it’s fully done, then add the reserved marinade back in for the last couple of minutes.

5-Serving suggestions: Serving is simple: pair the chicken with rice, noodles, or veggies for a complete meal. For an extra touch, sprinkle on sesame seeds and green onions. This method keeps things easy while ensuring juicy, tasty chicken every time.
