For this chicken steak, you marinate chicken breast in a sauce of ketchup, honey, soy sauce, and brown sugar and bake it in the oven. The sauce thickens and caramelizes on the surface, and garlic, ginger, and paprika add flavor. The meat tastes sweet and salty, and the apple cider vinegar adds a little acidity.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breast fillets, about 150-200 g each
- 100 ml ketchup
- 50 ml honey
- 30 ml soy sauce
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Optional: chili flakes to taste for some heat
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk the ketchup, honey, soy sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, garlic, ginger, black pepper, paprika, and chili flakes (if using) into a smooth sauce. Season with salt.
- Rinse the chicken breast fillets under running water and pat them dry. Place the fillets in a shallow dish and pour the sweet sauce over them. Coat the chicken breasts completely in the sauce and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Put the marinated chicken breasts in an ovenproof dish together with the extra marinade. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake the chicken breasts for about 25 minutes, until they are cooked through and the surface is caramelized.
- While baking, brush the chicken breasts with the marinade now and then to keep them juicy and boost the flavor.
- Take the chicken steaks out of the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
