Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup mirin
- 2 tablespoons miso paste
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
- Sliced green onions, for garnish
Directions:
- In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mirin, miso paste, honey, garlic, and ginger to make the marinade.
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the chicken is well coated. Marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- While the chicken is baking, pour the marinade into a saucepan. Bring it to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes until it thickens into a glaze.
- Brush the glaze over the cooked chicken and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
