#japanesefood #chickenbreastrecipe #japaneseauthenticfood
Hi everyone. Thank you for joining me in my kitchen. I hope you are having a wonderful day. Today's recipe is incredibly juicy and tender Pan-seared Chicken Breast with Soy-based Garlic Butter Sauce. This recipe is not only easy and delicious but also fool-proof ensuring perfectly cooked chicken breast every time. I hope you'll give it a try. Have fun cooking. 😊
I'll leave all the ingredients and cooking instructions below.

Ingredients for Chicken breast preparation (portion for 2)
Chicken breast (300g)
Salt (4 pinches)
Sake (1tbsp)
All-purpose flour (2tbsp)

Soy-based garlic butter sauce ingredients
Soy sauce (2tbsp)
Sake (2tbsp)
Mirin (2tbsp)
Garlic (2cloves)
Butter (20g)

Cooking Instructions ( Preparation)
1) Butterfly chicken breast and pound with the back of knife
2) Soak chicken in sake and leave at room temperature for 20 to 30 mins.
3) While waiting, combine the sauce ingredients. Keep the butter separate.
4) 20 mins later, take the chicken out and dry it with paper towels.
5) Season the chicken with salt.
6) Coat the chicken with the flour, and dust off the excess flour.

Actual Cooking Instructions
1) Add 1tbsp cooking oil to a large pan heat it over medium-low heat.
2) When the pan is hot, place the chicken in the pan and cook for 3 mins.
( press the chicken against the pan occasionally and rotate it around at a
minute and a half mark)
3) 3 mins later, turn the chicken over and cook the other side for 3 more
mins. During this time, no need to press it against the pan. All you need
to do is rotate it at 1 minute and a half mark.
4) After done cooking, let the chicken rest for 5 to 10 mins. So, the juices
inside will calm down and redistribute throughout the meat.
5) While waiting for the chicken, make a sauce using the same frying pan.
Wipe off any excess oil on the pan. Add the sauce mixture to the pan.
Heat it over medium low heat. And when the sauce starts boiling, add
the butter. Then keep stirring until the sauce thickens a little.
6) Slice the chicken into bite sized pieces at an angle by tilting the knife
slightly. Place the chicken pieces on a serving plate, spoon the sauce
over the chicken pieces, and that's it.

Your instructions are very clear but what is outstanding is your explanation of why things are done a certain way.

Best thing that happened to me was to study abroad and meet friends from Japan and other countries which allowed me to discover your wonderful cuisine. I lived in France, Italy, Spain and Turkey, but my favorite cuisines are the Japanese, Lebanese and Indian. These countries beat anything i’ve ever had!
