"Chicken breast" is an inexpensive, high-protein, and voluminous help ingredient. It's a strong ally on the table, but it tends to be dry when cooked. Especially when heated in a microwave oven, water will escape and it will become hard.

When cooking such chicken breast in a microwave oven, it is recommended to wrap it in a cooking sheet that has a higher heat-resistant temperature than wrap and traps steam and heat it! It's surprisingly moist, soft and juicy. This time, I will introduce how to make chicken char siu using parchment paper.

It's moist and soft, and has a texture that contains plenty of water, so it's too delicious! The sweet and sour taste of ginger and garlic sauce is also firmly entwined, and it is so addictive that you can make one piece by yourself. Even when I compared it with the one wrapped in plastic wrap and heated, it was moist and softer when wrapped with a cooking sheet.
