Ingredients

  • 2 Boneless & Skinless Chicken Breast
  • 1 cup Water Boiled
  • ¼ cup Rice Vinegar
  • 5 oz Dried Shitake Mushrooms
  • ¼ cup Tamari (Soy Sauce)
  • 2 teaspoon Honey
  • 4 inches Ginger Root Finely Chopped/Grated
  • ½ teaspoon Sesame Oil
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds
  • 4 Scallions
  • 2 cup White Long Grain Rice

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 DegF. Start 2 cups white/brown rice on stove or in rice cooker.
  • Heat water on medium-high heat. Once boiling, turn off stove. Add mushrooms and then cover. Allow mushrooms to soak up water. After 15-20 minutes remove the mushrooms and then slice.
  • Combine Tamari (Soy Sauce), Sesame Oil, Rice Vinegar, Honey and Ginger and and Scallions (Green Onions) into a baking dish.
  • Remove Chicken from packaging and rinse thoroughly. Cut each breast in half and then slit nearly in half once more. You are basically creating a pita pocket. Fill each breast with the Tamari mixture and then place in the baking dish to marinade. Allow chicken to soak for 10 minutes on each side.
  • Julienne more Scallions (Green Onions) and set aside for garnish To Julienne is to cut into matchstick sized pieces.
  • Tear off 1' x 2' piece of parchment paper. Fold in half diagonally and then unfold flat. Place stuffed Chicken Breast on top of parchment, place mushrooms on top and then wrap Chicken up like a burrito wrapper. Place wrapped chicken breasts on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165 DegF. Boil remaining marinade to condense into a syrup. This will be added just before serving.
  • Place wrapped chicken onto plate for serving. Rip open parchment and cut away excess. Top with julienne'd Scallions, condensed marinade syrup and Sesame Seeds. Serve with a side of rice.
