Soy-Glazed Chicken Breasts with Pickled Cucumbers
use this marinade on chicken thighs for a far tastier meal.
I made this recipe as written and the garlic/coriander were completely scorched by the time the chicken was browned (step 3). Most recipes recommend 30-60 seconds for garlic before it becomes burnt and bitter-- 6 minutes on medium high heat as written here would burn the aromatics on even on the most conservative of "medium high" heats. Next time I will strain the garlic and coriander seeds out of the oil before adding chicken, and add them back in prior to step 4.
Ingredients
  • 1 English cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 shallot, peeled, halved and thinly sliced lengthwise
  • ¼ cup rice vinegar
  • Kosher salt and black pepper
  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1½ to 2 pounds)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, smashed
  • 1 teaspoon coriander seeds, roughly smashed with the side of a heavy knife
  • Cilantro leaves and tender stems, for serving
  • Steamed rice, for serving
