Chicken breast pastrami

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make chicken breast pasta at home? First of all, prepare the necessary ingredients for the marinade.

2. STEP 2

   

   Pour salt, sugar and all the prepared spices into a bowl.

3. STEP 3

   

   Pour in hot water. This way the spices will better reveal their flavor.

4. STEP 4

   

   Mix everything thoroughly until the salt and sugar are completely dissolved.

5. STEP 5

   

   Rinse the meat under running water. Dip the chicken fillet into the resulting marinade, cover the bowl with film and refrigerate for 10-12 hours or even a day.

6. STEP 6

   

   Once the chicken is salted, you can start preparing the glaze. Prepare the necessary ingredients for this. If your honey is candied, heat it in the microwave or on the stove until it becomes liquid. It is not necessary to use a mixture of spices; just paprika and hot pepper will be enough)

7. STEP 7

   

   In a bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, a mixture of spices, vegetable oil, mustard, and pressed garlic.

8. STEP 8

   

   Mix everything thoroughly, taste and adjust to taste if necessary. Depending on preference, the glaze can be made sweeter, hotter, spicy, etc.

9. STEP 9

   

   Remove the chicken fillet from the marinade, rinse under running water and pat dry with a paper towel.

10. STEP 10

    

    Place the fillets in a clean container and pour the glaze over them.

11. STEP 11

    

    Coat the meat well with the glaze, cover the container with film and place in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. If desired, you can leave the meat in the refrigerator overnight.

12. STEP 12

    

    Turn the oven on 180 degrees. Remove the rested fillet from the glaze and tie it tightly with thread. I tied both fillets together, so I got an impressive size roll, but if you wish, you can tie each fillet separately.

13. STEP 13

    

    Transfer the roll to a baking dish. I used a cast iron skillet with a removable handle. Read about how to choose a baking dish in a separate article at the link at the end of the recipe.

14. STEP 14

    

    Place the form with the fillet in an oven preheated to 180 C and bake for about 45-55 minutes until cooked. The exact time depends on the thickness of the piece and your oven. You can learn about the operating features of ovens by reading a separate article, link at the end of the recipe. You can check readiness by cutting the meat with a knife - the juice should flow clear from the cut. Be careful not to overcook the pastrami, otherwise it will turn out dry.

15. STEP 15

    

    Brush pastrami with remaining glaze several times while baking.

16. STEP 16

    

    Tender chicken breast pastrami is ready. It can be served either still warm or completely cooled.

17. STEP 17

    

    Bon appetit!

I've already made chicken pasta, but in a slightly different way. I also liked this recipe, there are minimal active steps, but the result is impressive. I soaked the chicken breasts in brine overnight in the refrigerator. In addition to the spices from the recipe, I added about ten grains of dried barberry to the solution; I like its sweet and sour taste. The glaze is simply wonderful! I melted the honey in the microwave, then added all the other ingredients, but instead of fresh garlic I used dried garlic. I had two fillets, I also tied them together. I left it in the marinade for five hours, periodically turning the roll over with different sides. Bake for an hour at 200 degrees. Surprisingly, the usually dry breast became incredibly juicy! The glaze is sweet and honey and spicy at the same time. This is delicious. The roll was cooled in the refrigerator. The only thing was that when cutting the fillet, it was divided into two parts. It seems to me that we should have tied the fillets together first, and then marinated them in the glaze; it turns out that the glaze seemed to separate the halves of the breasts and did not allow them to “stick together.” But this is just an observation) It doesn’t affect the taste at all! The roll is simply magnificent, my daughter ate several pieces at once and couldn’t put it down. Although she doesn't really like chicken breast, which means the pastrami was a success! We ate it and made sandwiches just like that, you didn’t even need to add sauce, and it was so tasty and juicy. Thank you very much for the recipe! I recommend!

Well, I’ve finally decided - it’s worth marinating. I just heated the first solution so that the spices would have an effect. then I cooled it, pierced the meat with needles and set everything to marinate for a day

Irisha, I understand that the marinade is prepared with cold water? Do spices really release their flavor without boiling?
