Materials and preparation

Ingredients (for 4 people)

• Chicken fillet...300g
• Potato starch...appropriate amount
• Green onion...a little

The ingredients are simple, but they make a nutritious side dish. Chicken breast is low in fat and high in protein, making it a recommended ingredient for dieters and health-conscious people. Green shiso and shiso leaves add a refreshing flavor to the dish and add a beautiful color

How to make it

1. Preparing the chicken breast

Be sure to remove the tendons from the chicken tenderloins, as this will make them softer and easier to eat

2. Sprinkle with potato starch

Sprinkle potato starch on the chicken tenderloins to lightly coat the surface. This process helps keep the chicken moist and helps it stay in place while cooking. The key is to lightly dust off any excess flour

3. Blanch the chicken breast

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and quickly blanch the chicken breast over high heat. It will take about 1-2 minutes to cook through, so be careful not to boil it for too long. Once cooked, immediately transfer to cold water to cool and drain thoroughly

4. Arrange and serve

Arrange the cooled chicken fillets on a plate and garnish with green onions. You can also top with sesame mayonnaise or Japanese dressing if you like. If you want to store it, put it in an airtight container and refrigerate it. It will remain delicious even if you store it for several days, with the same flavor and texture

summary

"Preparing food in advance" is a great way to easily provide nutritionally balanced meals even on busy days. This "frosted chicken" is not only easy to make, but also retains its deliciousness even when refrigerated, making it the perfect pre-prepared dish. Another great thing about it is that it can be enjoyed not only by reheating it, but also by combining it with salads and other side dishes to create a new dish. Whenever you have the time, try making food in advance to enrich your daily meals
