This unique grilled chicken recipe features a spicy miso-maple glaze that combines the umami of Japanese miso with the sweetness of maple syrup, served alongside a vibrant Asian slaw for a refreshing crunch.
Recipe Categories:
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of white miso paste, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil until smooth. Set aside.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring the grates are clean and lightly oiled.
Season 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Brush the miso-maple glaze generously over the chicken breasts, reserving some for basting during grilling.
Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on one side, then flip and baste with more glaze.
Continue grilling for another 6-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the Asian slaw by combining 2 cups of shredded cabbage, 1 cup of shredded carrots, 1/2 cup of thinly sliced bell peppers, and 1/4 cup of chopped green onions in a large bowl.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 1 tablespoon of honey, and a pinch of salt.
Pour the dressing over the slaw and toss to combine.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve the sliced chicken over a bed of Asian slaw, drizzling any remaining glaze on top for extra flavor.
