Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp white miso paste, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp honey, and 1/4 cup water until smooth and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Pat dry 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6 oz each) and season lightly with salt.
  3. Step 3: Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 165°F), flipping once.
  4. Step 4: Reduce heat to medium-low and pour the miso-ginger sauce over the chicken. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the chicken.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 tbsp sliced green onions before serving.
