Soy Miso Chicken

Soy Miso Chicken

We’ve been eating way too much rice, pasta, and bread lately. Fried rice, rolls, chow mein - the list goes on and on. So for dinner the other night we stuck to white meat chicken over some cucumbers and lettuce.

I didn’t even bother to use dressing hoping to eliminate any extra calories/fat from our meal. Luckily, the chicken had more than enough taste to keep me happy.

All I did was marinate the chicken (10 to 15 min.) in the mixture below and cooked it in a nonstick skillet. I was going to broil it in the oven but it was way too hot that night to be heating up the whole oven for a couple pieces of chicken.

MARINADE
1/4 cup miso paste
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup sake
1 tablespoon sugar

I know how you feel…we’ve been on carb overload lately. This meal looks fresh & delicious and very healthy, of course.

Hi sharon and kat,
Thanks, it turned out better than expected. I was surprised by how tasty it was after only 15 minutes of marinating!

Carbs baby! I know the feeling, and it does begin to bog you down when it becomes part of the menu repeatedly. I try to make at least two humungous salad dinners each week. No bread (well maybe a handful of garlic croutons). It makes for a more restful sleep that’s for sure.

Hey rowena,
Two salad dinners a week is really good! I would be so tempted by the foods over there, don’t know if I could pull that off myself. :D
