Ingredients
- 4-6 skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup light soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon sherry wine
- 1/4 cup oil (vegetable or sesame)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the light soy sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, pepper, sherry wine, and oil. Mix until well combined.
- Place the skinless chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
- Pour the marinade mixture over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
- Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and infuse into the meat.
- When ready to cook, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Transfer the marinated chicken breasts to a baking dish, arranging them in a single layer.
- Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for approximately 90 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender, with an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Serve hot and enjoy the delectable Oriental flavors of this savory chicken dish!
Tips
- Adjust the amount of soy sauce according to your taste preferences, as it can vary in saltiness. Start with the recommended amount and add more if desired.
- For added depth of flavor, consider garnishing the cooked chicken with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, or chopped cilantro before serving.
- This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed rice or stir-fried vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal.
