MISO CHICKEN



Miso Chicken image

Making a compound of unsalted butter and the salty, fungal deliciousness of Japanese miso paste is a surefire way of adding immense flavor to a simple weeknight meal. Here the mixture is spread over chicken thighs, which are then roasted to golden perfection. But you could easily use it on salmon or flounder, on corn or potatoes. The recipe calls for white miso, which is more mild than the aged version known as red miso. But you could certainly use red for a more intense result.

CHICKEN BREASTS WITH MISO-GARLIC SAUCE



Chicken Breasts With Miso-Garlic Sauce image

Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are known for becoming dry, but brining them before cooking helps retain moisture. The chicken is soaked in cold, salted water to which a small amount of whey or yogurt is added. (The lactic acid and phosphates in the dairy help with moisture retention.) However, the star of this recipe isn't the chicken: It's the sauce, made from miso, plenty of garlic and a good amount of lemon and leftover pan juices. Just take care when salting it: Miso is salty by nature, and lemon juice tends to heighten its brininess. Round out the meal by pairing it with white rice, or a vibrant salad.

Categories     dinner, weekday, poultry, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon fine sea salt, plus more as needed
2 tablespoons plain whole-milk yogurt or whey
4 cups cold water
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 pounds)
1/4 cup unsalted butter (1/2 stick), melted, or olive oil
2 tablespoons onion powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons chipotle powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup unsalted butter (1/2 stick), cubed
4 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon red miso
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons minced scallions or chives

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 500 degrees. Line a 9-by-13-inch high-heat baking dish with aluminum foil. In a large bowl, stir 1 tablespoon salt and the yogurt into 4 cups cold water. (The brine helps the chicken retain its moisture, for juicier breasts.) Add the chicken and let sit for 15 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, mix together butter, onion powder, garlic and chipotle powders, and black pepper until they form a paste.
  • After 15 minutes, drain the breasts, discarding liquid. Pat dry, transfer to the baking dish, and spread the paste all over the chicken.
  • Roast until the top is golden brown and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees, about 30 minutes. If chicken is darkening too quickly, tent loosely with foil. Let the chicken cool, covered, for 5 minutes. Reserve the pan juices.
  • About 10 minutes before the chicken is done, prepare the miso-garlic sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Remove from the heat and stir in garlic, lemon zest, black pepper and miso. Return to the heat and add the lemon juice and 2 tablespoons water, then mix until a velvety sauce forms. Remove from heat and stir in the reserved pan juices from the chicken. Taste and season with salt as needed.
  • To serve, either slice the chicken breasts across the grain or keep them whole. Pour the sauce over the chicken and garnish with the minced scallions or chives. Serve immediately.

SWANSON GRILLED (OR BAKED) MISO CHICKEN



Swanson Grilled (Or Baked) Miso Chicken image

This is from Swanson Vitamins. Instead of grilling, I baked and it was fantastic! I used a red miso, although they called for a golden miso?? I also left out the basil and peppers. I also used regular things and the skin came out very yummy.

MISO BUTTER ROASTED CHICKEN



Miso Butter Roasted Chicken image

I love this recipe for its simple front-end prep. Spatchcock the chicken yourself or ask your butcher to spatchcock it for you. Then the only work left to do is to chop the veggies. Once it's in the oven, there's ample time to set the table and talk. -Stefanie Schaldenbrand, Los Angeles, California

Tips:

  • Use high-quality miso paste. The quality of your miso paste will greatly affect the flavor of your dish. Look for a miso paste that is made with whole soybeans and has a rich, earthy flavor.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken breasts are very lean and can easily become dry if they are overcooked. Cook them until they are just cooked through, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve with your favorite sides. Baked miso chicken breasts can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, noodles, vegetables, or salad.

Conclusion:
