Miso Chicken

This savoury miso chicken is an excellent choice for a nutritious mid-week meal. By marinating lean chicken breasts in a fragrant blend of umami-rich miso paste, zingy ginger and fresh garlic, you can create a deep, complex flavour without the need for heavy sauces or excessive salt. It is a light yet satisfying dish that highlights how simple, fresh ingredients can transform a basic protein into something truly special.

As a diabetes-friendly recipe, this dish focuses on high-protein poultry and heart-healthy oils, making it a reliable staple for balanced eating. The hint of red pepper flakes adds a gentle warmth that complements the savoury notes of the miso perfectly. For a complete, fibre-rich meal, serve it alongside a vibrant roasted corn and edamame salad or some steamed seasonal greens.
