Samurai Chicken

Samurai Chicken is a popular dish that often involves marinated chicken cooked in a flavorful sauce. While recipes can vary, here's a simple recipe to get you started: Ingredients: 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 1/4 cup soy sauce 2 tablespoons honey 2 tablespoons rice vinegar 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger 1 tablespoon sesame oil 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for cooking) Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish) Sliced green onions (optional, for garnish) Instructions: In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil to make the marinade. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure it's well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours. After marinating, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off, and add it to the hot skillet. Cook the chicken for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and browned on the outside. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your chicken breasts. Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. While the chicken is resting, you can prepare the sauce. You can use any remaining marinade by heating it in a small saucepan over medium heat until it thickens slightly, or you can make a fresh batch of sauce by combining equal parts soy sauce, honey, and rice vinegar, along with a splash of sesame oil. Slice the cooked chicken breasts and serve them drizzled with the sauce. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired. Enjoy your Samurai Chicken!
