Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breast fillets
- 2 tablespoons Vegemite
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Begin by patting the chicken breast fillets dry with a paper towel. Set them aside while preparing the glaze.
Step 2
In a small mixing bowl, combine the Vegemite, honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, and ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly until you achieve a smooth glaze.
Step 3
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken fillets to the pan.
Step 4
Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C). Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside on a plate.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and pour the prepared Vegemite glaze into the same pan. Let it cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the glaze slightly thickens.
Step 6
Return the cooked chicken fillets to the pan, ensuring they are evenly coated with the glaze. Allow the chicken to simmer in the glaze for an additional 2-3 minutes, flipping once to coat both sides thoroughly.
Step 7
Once the chicken is fully glazed and shiny, transfer it to serving plates. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Step 8
Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes. Enjoy your Glazed Vegemite Chicken Fillets!
