A Japanese-inspired dish. Miso is deliciously savoury and comforting, and has an intensely rich flavour that makes an ideal marinade for chicken. Miso is a form of fermented soy, packed with antioxidants and a useful source of vitamin K for bone and cardiovascular health. This recipe is taken from my book Eat to Get Younger
Difficulty – Easy
Time – 35 minutes baking
Serves – 4
A great high protein option that is quick and easy to prepare. Get ahead and prepare this in advance the night before. Leftovers are delicious added to a salad.
Try adding some additional vegtables to the baking tray – chunks of peppers and courgettes would be excellent.
