Moist, Tender, and Irresistible!
This recipe turns chicken breast into a feast by coating it in a rich citrus-soy sauce glaze enriched with creamy Japanese mayonnaise, then topping it generously with chopped green onions. The moist and tender chicken breast pairs beautifully with the rich and savory sauce.
Ready in only 10 minutes with just a few ingredients, this is the perfect main dish for busy days or bento lunch boxes. Aromatic green onions will set your whole family’s mouth watering. Delicious with both rice and drinks.
