Main Ingredients

Seasoning and Marinade

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chicken

    Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for a stronger flavor).

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it in the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.

  2. 4

    Add Coconut Milk

    Once the chicken is cooked, pour in the coconut milk. Allow it to simmer for about 5 minutes, ensuring the chicken absorbs the flavors.

  3. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Chop the fresh cilantro and sprinkle it over the chicken before serving. Serve the Sasami Yaki hot with rice or your choice of side.
