MISO LIME CHICKEN

Chicken can get a tad boring sometimes, so I try to spark things up here with a tasty zing from the miso and fresh lime juice. This seriously simple and tasty sauce works well with fish or tofu as well!

​

​INGREDIENTS
1 pound chicken tenders or chicken thighs, skinless, boneless
Rub:
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Sauce:
2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice (about the juice from one lime)
2 Tablespoons white miso paste
1/4 cup nonfat Greek yogurt, plain
1 Tablespoon honey
Nonstick cooking spray
Fresh cilantro or basil for garnish
​
PREPARATION
Prepare the rub by placing the onion powder, garlic powder and pepper in a small bowl and whisk to combine. Place chicken tenders in a medium bowl. Pour rub evenly on top and mix well with clean hands, being sure the rub is evenly spread onto the chicken.
Mix up the sauce: Place the lime juice, miso paste, yogurt and honey in a small bowl. Mix well until miso is dissolved and set aside.
Place a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Spray with nonstick cooking spray. Add the chicken in a single layer. Cook 4–5 minutes, spray again with nonstick cooking spray, and flip to cook another 3–4 minutes on the other side. Remove from pan and place onto serving platter.
Top with sauce and garnish, and keep some extra sauce on the side!

Looking for a quick veggie on the side? Go for fresh golden beets! Peel, slice, mix with a touch of olive oil, dash of salt, freshly ground pepper. Microwave for a few minutes, then roast for 15–20 minutes at 400˚F. Garnish with fresh sage. Share the sauce here, too!
