Chicken breasts in soy sauce in the oven

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to bake a breast in the oven? To prepare the dish, take 2 whole chicken breasts on the bone. They can be skinned or skinless, as you prefer. You can replace the breasts with boneless fillet, but you need to take more of it.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash the chicken breasts thoroughly and dry them with paper towels. Cut the breasts in half lengthwise to make 4 pieces.

3. Step 3:

   

   Place the prepared chicken tightly in a baking dish.

4. Step 4:

   

   Now prepare the sauce. Rice vinegar can be replaced with balsamic or apple vinegar. Olive oil can be replaced with sesame oil. Fresh garlic can be replaced with 1 tsp. with a slide of dry granulated. If you do not have dried paprika flakes available, replace them with regular dried paprika.

5. Step 5:

   

   Peel the garlic and grate it on a fine grater or pass it through a press.

6. Step 6:

   

   Pour olive oil into a saucepan, add corn starch.

8. Step 7:

   

   Put a saucepan on medium heat and beat the butter with starch until smooth. There should be no lumps of starch.

9. Step 8:

   

   Pour in soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, crushed garlic, ground ginger, ground paprika and sesame seeds. Mix everything well and boil the sauce, stirring occasionally until it thickens.

10. Step 9:

    

    Determine the thickness of the sauce according to your taste. I boil it so that it is viscous, but still fluid. It takes about 15 minutes.

11. Step 10:

    

    Using a brush, brush the chicken breasts with the prepared sauce. If you wish, you can just pour the whole sauce on the breasts, but I prefer to leave a part to periodically lubricate the chicken during baking. The sauce will just cool down and become even thicker. Place the mold in a preheated 180 ° C oven and bake for about 45 minutes, periodically pouring sauce from the bottom of the mold or greasing sauce from a saucepan. The exact baking time depends on your oven

12. Step 11:

    

    Remove the finished breasts from the oven. They should be abundantly covered with sauce. If all the sauce has drained from them during baking, then cool the chicken a little and lubricate it with the remains of the thickened sauce from the saucepan.

13. Step 12:

    

    Then transfer the breasts to a plate, sprinkle with sesame seeds and finely chopped green onions and serve. Enjoy your meal!
