Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 4 pieces Dried nori seaweed sheets
- 0.25 cup Coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together coconut aminos, garlic powder, onion powder, ground ginger, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Step 3
Place each chicken breast between two sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap and gently pound with a meat mallet or rolling pin until they are about 1/2 inch thick.
Step 4
Brush the prepared marinade over both sides of the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Step 5
Wrap each chicken breast with a nori sheet, folding the ends underneath to secure the seaweed.
Step 6
Heat olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium heat.
Step 7
Place the wrapped chicken breasts seam-side down in the skillet and sear for about 2 minutes on each side until the nori is crisp and slightly browned.
Step 8
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 9
Remove the skillet from the oven and allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes.
Step 10
Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
