11907 Ponzu Roasted Chicken Breast 45 mins. 10 mins. Serves two diners. Mon Apr 28 11:43:12 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 29 08:31:16 -0700 2008 Easy Japanese User http://www.chow.com/recipes/11907 Tue, 29 Apr 2008 15:31:16 GMT This dish is quick and easy to make on a week night. The marinade is derived from Japanese bottled Ponzu. If you don’t have Ponzu in your pantry, then you can replace with a mixture of lime and lemon juice.

I make the marinade and the dipping sauce to taste. Improvise on the amounts to your own tastes.

  • Brush the Ponzu on the Chicken Breasts and Salt it fairly heavily, covering the entire surface of the Breasts. Leave to marinate for about 30-60mins. (You can forgo this step if you are in a hurry).
  • Set your oven rack to the top third of your oven. Set your oven to Roast at 425F.
  • Put your Chicken Breasts in a small cast iron skillet or similar pan. Add the crushed garlic to the pan.
  • Roast for about 30 mins (roughly) or until it is done. It should be nicely browned.
  • Take the breasts out of the oven, transfer to a cutting board and let them rest for a few minutes
  • Put your skillet with the drippings on the stove on medium heat. Discard Garlic.
  • To the skillet, add the Water, the Soy Sauce, the Sugar, and a splash of Ponzu. Boil and stir until the Sugar is dissolved.
  • Taste the sauce. It should be slightly sweet, slightly tart and salty. Adjust to your preference. Dilute with more water if too salty or too sweet. Add Sesame Oil (optional).
  • Slice the Chicken Breasts into half-inch slices and arrange in your serving dish. And pour sauce around the Breasts.
  • Serve!
