Step by step
Get ahead
Marinate the chicken overnight in the fridge.
- Mix the miso paste with the soy sauce, ½ teaspoon sesame oil, vegetable oil, chilli flakes, ginger and garlic in a large shallow dish. Turn the chicken breasts in the marinade to coat. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes in the fridge.
- Preheat the barbecue or grill. Cook the chicken for 20-25 minutes, brushing with any leftover marinade at the start and turning a couple of times to cook through evenly.
- Meanwhile, shave the carrots into ribbons and slice the spring onions. Toss with ½ teaspoon sesame oil and a pinch of salt. Slice the chicken and serve on soft lettuce leaves with the carrot and spring onions.
