Yuzu Pepper Grilled Chicken Breast

Cultural Context

Yuzu pepper, or yuzu kosho, is a traditional Japanese condiment made from yuzu citrus and chili peppers. It adds a unique, tangy heat to dishes, particularly grilled meats. In Japan, grilled chicken seasoned with yuzu pepper is popular for its vibrant flavor and simplicity, often enjoyed in izakayas or as a home-cooked meal. Today, yuzu pepper has gained international popularity, inspiring chefs worldwide to incorporate its bright, citrusy notes into various dishes.

yuzu pepper paste

🥗Healthier: homemade yuzu pepper

💰Cheaper: jalapeño or other chili paste

Jalapeño provides heat but lacks the citrusy flavor of yuzu.

soy sauce

🥗Healthier: low-sodium soy sauce

💰Cheaper: tamari

Tamari is gluten-free and often less expensive.

sake

🥗Healthier: rice vinegar

💰Cheaper: white wine

White wine is a common substitute for sake in marinades.

mirin

🥗Healthier: rice vinegar with sugar

💰Cheaper: honey

Honey can mimic the sweetness of mirin.

1

Marinate chicken breast in yuzu pepper paste, soy sauce, sake, mirin, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger for at least 30 minutes.

2

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

3

Remove chicken from marinade and pat dry with paper towels.

4

Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

5

Place chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on one side.

6

Flip the chicken and grill for another 6-7 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.

7

Remove chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

8

Drizzle with sesame oil and sprinkle with chopped green onions before serving.
