Japanese-Style Chicken Steak
Ingredients:
- 170 grams chicken breast fillet
- 1 tablespoon batter or margarine
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Sauce:
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 4 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Chicken: Slice the chicken breast fillet to an even thickness. Use a fork to pierce the surface of the chicken to help the marinade penetrate better. Season both sides with salt and pepper, and let it rest for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
-
Cook the Chicken: Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add the batter or margarine and let it melt. Place the chicken in the pan and cook for 2 minutes on one side. Flip the chicken and cook for an additional 2 minutes on the other side.
-
Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, water, and granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
-
Add the Sauce: After the chicken is cooked on both sides, pour the prepared sauce over the chicken in the pan. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, then flip the chicken again and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
-
Rest and Serve: Turn off the heat and cover the skillet. Let the chicken rest in the pan for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Transfer the chicken to a serving plate. Reheat the remaining sauce in the pan for about 30 seconds, then pour it over the chicken.
