Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 10 grams dried seaweed (such as wakame or nori)
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Soak the dried seaweed in warm water for about 10 minutes until it softens, then drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper. Stir well to create a marinade.

Step 4

Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring that each piece is well coated. Allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Step 5

Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Add the marinated chicken to the skillet, searing each side for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown.

Step 7

Remove from heat. Layer the softened seaweed over the chicken breasts.

Step 8

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Step 9

Once done, remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes.

Step 10

Slice the chicken into thick pieces and sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Step 11

Enjoy your low carb seaweed chicken with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
