A unique main dish where chicken is marinated and cooked with brewed tea, enhancing the flavor with subtle smoky and earthy notes, complemented by a sweet ginger glaze.

Main Dish

Steps

Brew a strong cup of black tea and let it cool.
In a bowl, combine the cooled tea, soy sauce, grated ginger, honey, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
Marinate the chicken breast in this mixture for at least 30 minutes.
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
Remove chicken from marinade, reserving the marinade.
Cook chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.
Pour the reserved marinade into the pan and simmer until it thickens into a glaze.
Drizzle the glaze over the chicken before serving.

Tips for Tea-Infused Chicken with Ginger Glaze

The glaze is ready when it coats a spoon; it will thicken a little more as it cools.
Avoid crowding the pan, which can prevent the chicken from browning evenly.
A small skillet helps the reserved marinade reduce into a concentrated glaze rather than spreading thinly.
