MISO LIME CHICKEN
Chicken can get a tad boring sometimes, so I try to spark things up here with a tasty zing from the miso and fresh lime juice. This seriously simple and tasty sauce works well with fish or tofu as well!
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken tenders or chicken thighs skinless, boneless
For the rub:
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
For the sauce:
- 2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice about the juice from one lime
- 2 Tablespoons white miso paste
- 1/4 cup nonfat Greek yogurt plain
- 1 Tablespoon honey
- Nonstick cooking spray
- Fresh cilantro, basil, and red pepper for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the rub by placing the onion powder, garlic powder and pepper in a small bowl and whisk to combine.
- Place chicken tenders in a medium bowl. Pour rub evenly on top and mix well with clean hands; be sure the rub is evenly spread onto the chicken.
- Mix up the sauce: Place the lime juice, miso paste, yogurt and honey in a small bowl. Mix well until miso is dissolved and set aside.
- Place a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Spray with nonstick cooking spray. Add the chicken in a single layer. Cook 4–5 minutes, spray again with nonstick cooking spray, and flip to cook another 3–4 minutes on the other side. Remove from pan and place onto serving platter.
- Top with sauce and garnish, and keep some extra sauce on the side!
Notes
Looking for a quick veggie on the side? Go for fresh golden beets! Peel, slice, mix with a touch of olive oil, dash of salt, freshly ground pepper. Microwave for a few minutes, then roast for 15–20 minutes at 400˚F. Garnish with fresh sage. Share the sauce here, too!
