Flavorful Citrus Soy Chicken Recipe

Flavorful Citrus Soy Chicken Recipe

Ingredients:

• Chicken breast fillets – 800 g (about 3 pieces), cut into bite-sized chunks
• Garlic – 2-3 cloves, minced
• Grapefruit or orange juice – from 1 grapefruit or orange
• Soy sauce – 50 ml
• Oil – 1 tablespoon (for cooking)
• Salt – to taste
• Black pepper – to taste
• Sesame seeds – for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Chicken:
   • In a mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, citrus juice, and soy sauce. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper, then add them to the bowl. Mix well to ensure the chicken is fully coated with the marinade. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes, or for more flavor, marinate in the refrigerator for a couple of hours or overnight.
2. Cook the Chicken:
   • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken (reserve the marinade for later) and cook until the chicken is browned on all sides and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
3. Reduce the Marinade:
   • Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Let it reduce slightly to create a glaze, then toss the chicken pieces to coat them with this glaze.
4. Garnish:
   • If you’re using sesame seeds, sprinkle them over the chicken just before serving.
5. Serve:
   • This dish can be served over rice, alongside vegetables, or simply on its own as a flavorful protein addition to your meal.

Enjoy this delicious and aromatic chicken with its mix of sweet and savory flavors from the citrus and soy!
