MISO CHICKEN



Miso Chicken image

Making a compound of unsalted butter and the salty, fungal deliciousness of Japanese miso paste is a surefire way of adding immense flavor to a simple weeknight meal. Here the mixture is spread over chicken thighs, which are then roasted to golden perfection. But you could easily use it on salmon or flounder, on corn or potatoes. The recipe calls for white miso, which is more mild than the aged version known as red miso. But you could certainly use red for a more intense result.

MISO BUTTER ROASTED CHICKEN



Miso Butter Roasted Chicken image

I love this recipe for its simple front-end prep. Spatchcock the chicken yourself or ask your butcher to spatchcock it for you. Then the only work left to do is to chop the veggies. Once it's in the oven, there's ample time to set the table and talk. -Stefanie Schaldenbrand, Los Angeles, California

THE BEST BAKED CHICKEN BREASTS



The Best Baked Chicken Breasts image

The downfall of most baked chicken breast recipes is the long time in the oven that dries out the lean meat before it can fully cook through. We've solved that problem with a couple of secret weapons. The first is white wine added to the baking dish, which creates steam. (While we think it's worth using wine, you could substitute stock or even water.) The second is a piece of parchment paper placed directly on top of the chicken to lock in the moisture during baking. The result is the best boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are plump and juicy, with a minimum of hands-on time. A bunch of parsley and lemon slices infuse the dish with fresh flavor and the seasoning is neutral enough that the chicken can be used for a variety of different meals. Serve it alongside vegetables and grains, shredded into soup, spiced up for tacos or chopped on top of salad. Feel free to switch up the herbs and citrus if you have leftovers in the fridge to use up.

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 small bunch parsley
1 lemon, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 cup dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc
Four 6-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon paprika
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the parsley in the center of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and top with the lemon slices. Pour the wine around the parsley. Brush the tops of the chicken with the olive oil and season with the paprika, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Arrange the chicken breasts on top of the lemon slices. Cut an 8-by-10-inch piece of parchment and place it on top of the chicken.
  • Bake until the chicken registers 165 degrees F on a digital thermometer, 40 to 45 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving. The chicken can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

CHICKEN BREASTS WITH MISO-GARLIC SAUCE



Chicken Breasts With Miso-Garlic Sauce image

Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are known for becoming dry, but brining them before cooking helps retain moisture. The chicken is soaked in cold, salted water to which a small amount of whey or yogurt is added. (The lactic acid and phosphates in the dairy help with moisture retention.) However, the star of this recipe isn't the chicken: It's the sauce, made from miso, plenty of garlic and a good amount of lemon and leftover pan juices. Just take care when salting it: Miso is salty by nature, and lemon juice tends to heighten its brininess. Round out the meal by pairing it with white rice, or a vibrant salad.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon fine sea salt, plus more as needed
2 tablespoons plain whole-milk yogurt or whey
4 cups cold water
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 pounds)
1/4 cup unsalted butter (1/2 stick), melted, or olive oil
2 tablespoons onion powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons chipotle powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup unsalted butter (1/2 stick), cubed
4 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon red miso
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons minced scallions or chives

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 500 degrees. Line a 9-by-13-inch high-heat baking dish with aluminum foil. In a large bowl, stir 1 tablespoon salt and the yogurt into 4 cups cold water. (The brine helps the chicken retain its moisture, for juicier breasts.) Add the chicken and let sit for 15 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, mix together butter, onion powder, garlic and chipotle powders, and black pepper until they form a paste.
  • After 15 minutes, drain the breasts, discarding liquid. Pat dry, transfer to the baking dish, and spread the paste all over the chicken.
  • Roast until the top is golden brown and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees, about 30 minutes. If chicken is darkening too quickly, tent loosely with foil. Let the chicken cool, covered, for 5 minutes. Reserve the pan juices.
  • About 10 minutes before the chicken is done, prepare the miso-garlic sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Remove from the heat and stir in garlic, lemon zest, black pepper and miso. Return to the heat and add the lemon juice and 2 tablespoons water, then mix until a velvety sauce forms. Remove from heat and stir in the reserved pan juices from the chicken. Taste and season with salt as needed.
  • To serve, either slice the chicken breasts across the grain or keep them whole. Pour the sauce over the chicken and garnish with the minced scallions or chives. Serve immediately.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Chicken
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 4 oz each)
1 teaspoon canola oil
Marinade
2 tablespoons miso paste (preferably Kochujang)
1 1/2 teaspoons light sesame oil
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped garlic
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Place chicken in a shallow dish. Combine marinade ingredients with 1 tablespoon water; pour over meat. Chill, covered, 1 to 2 hours. Remove chicken from marinade; drain excess. Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until no longer pink in the center, about 4 minutes per side. Serve with Roasted Corn and Edamame Salad .

Tips:

  • Use a quality miso paste. The better the quality of the miso paste, the better the flavor of your chicken will be. Look for a miso paste that is made with whole soybeans and has a deep, rich flavor.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken breasts are very thin and can easily become dry and overcooked. Cook them just until they are cooked through, about 15-20 minutes.
  • Serve with your favorite sides. Baked miso chicken breasts can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, noodles, or vegetables. You can also add a sauce or glaze to the chicken before serving.

Conclusion:

Baked miso chicken breasts are a delicious and easy-to-make weeknight meal. They are also a great source of protein and healthy fats. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
