Ingredients
¼ cup white miso paste
¼ cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tbsp chile garlic paste (sambal oelek)
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp coconut sugar
1 tsp sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp peeled and minced ginger
4 6-oz boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Thai red chiles, seeded and finely chopped, for garnish, optional
Preparation
1. In a large bowl, whisk together miso, broth, chile paste, vinegar, sugar, oil, garlic and ginger. Reserve ¼ cup of mixture in a jar and place in fridge. Place remaining marinade in a zip-top bag and add chicken. Seal bag tightly, pressing out as much air as possible and place in fridge for at least 3 hours or overnight.
2. Preheat a grill pan to medium- high. Add chicken to pan, discarding marinade. Grill chicken, flipping once, until no longer pink inside and temperature in center reaches 165°F, 5 to 7 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a serving platter and brush with reserved marinade. Sprinkle with chiles (if using).
