This is a dish I make all the time in my toaster oven. Since microwaves and countertop convection ovens have largely replaced the toaster oven, I’ve adapted the recipe for the range.

Yield: 4 Portions

INGREDIENTS

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, about 6 ounces each
2 tablespoons medium-colored miso
2 tablespoons orange marmalade
Salt and ground pepper to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable, canola, or corn oil

Directions

Place chicken breasts between 2 sheets of plastic wrap or wax paper, and pound thin with a mallet.

In a small bowl, whisk together miso and orange marmalade. Sprinkle chicken breasts lightly with salt and pepper and brush all over with marinade. Let stand 30 minutes.

Warm a nonstick sauté pan with the oil over medium-high heat. When hot, add the chicken. Cook on first side 3 minutes. Flip. Baste tops with any remaining marinade. Cook on second side 3 minutes or until meat is no longer pink. Flip, cook 15 seconds, and transfer to plates.
