Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 10 grams Dried seaweed
• 4 tablespoons Tamari soy sauce (gluten-free)
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 pieces Spring onions, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds, toasted
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Rehydrate the dried seaweed by soaking it in warm water for about 10 minutes. Once soft, drain and chop the seaweed into small pieces.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the tamari soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, sesame oil, honey, chopped seaweed, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 3

Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 6

Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the surface is golden brown.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, slice each breast into strips.

Step 8

Serve the chicken garnished with chopped spring onions and toasted sesame seeds for an added crunch and burst of flavor.
