Juicy and Tender Chicken Breast Saute
- 350 grams 1 Chicken breast (with skin)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 to 3 tablespoons Sake
- 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 1/2 bunch Spinach
- 1/2 bag Bean sprouts
- 1/3 tsp Salt and pepper
- Sprinkle the salt and sake onto the chicken breast, and massage it into the meat well.
- Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes to an hour (in a plastic bag is fine), but up to one full day is OK!
- Heat a frying pan and once it starts to smoke, drizzle in the vegetable oil.
- Place the chicken breast into the pan, skin side down.
- Immediately bring the heat to low, cover, and cook for 8 minutes.
- Make sure the heat is low enough that the lid does not move from the steam.
- Make sure that the lid makes a tight seal.
- Once 8 minutes have passed, flip over the chicken breasts and cook for about three minutes.
- You should have about this level of browning for a good flavor.
- Make sure to cover the pan when cooking on the other side for 3 minutes.
- Once it is cooked, wrap in aluminum foil.
- Wrap it while it's still very hot.
- Turn off the heat at this point.
- Place the chicken into a pot or on a plate and wrap tightly, and let sit for 30 minutes.
- If you can, place a newspaper or towel over the top to keep it warm!
- A pot lid is also OK.
- Remove the aluminum foil.
- On a cutting board, cut the meat into 5 mm slices.
- Return the juice left in the aluminum foil to the frying pan.
- Turn the heat on and once the juices start to foam, add the spinach and bean sprouts and stir fry.
- Once the vegetables have been well coated and have soaked up most of the juices, it's finished.
- Don't forget to taste and add salt and pepper as necessary!
- Pile the vegetables on the plate, lay the chicken neatly out on top, add some sauce and you're done!
- The photo shows 8 mm slices, but slices thinner than 5 mm are best.
- Anyway, you'll be surprised by how tasty it is.
- If you close your eyes, you wouldn't even realize it's chicken breast, since it's so tender and delicious.
- If you need more flavor, drizzle your favorite dressing on top.
- Sesame dressing goes quite well.
