Ingredients

Gremolata Chicken

  • 1 lemon, roughly chopped
  • ½ cup parsley, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • ½ cup canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Teriyaki Glaze

  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 4 scallions, minced
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 tablespoons sake
  • ¼ cup dried shiitake mushrooms
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • Black and white sesame seeds, for garnish

Roasted Vegetables

  • 8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, destemmed
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, quartered
  • 8 ounces bacon, roughly chopped
  • 1 red onion, diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 pound brussels sprouts, quartered
  • Salt and pepper
Directions
1
Combine the lemon, parsley, garlic, oil and salt in a blender until mostly smooth. 
2
Toss the chicken with the gremolata and marinate overnight or for at least 4 hours. 
3
Preheat the oven to 400°F. 
4
In a medium saucepan, heat the soy sauce, ½ cup water, sugar, scallions, garlic, sake, dried shiitakes, and ginger. When the mixture reaches a boil, use a strainer to remove the vegetables. Simmer for 20 minutes. 
5
In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water. Add the slurry to the sauce and return to a boil. Remove from heat.
6
Remove the chicken from the marinade, discard marinade and season chicken with salt and pepper. Roast on a baking sheet until cooked through, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush with teriyaki glaze.
7
On one baking sheet, toss the mushrooms with the bacon, onion, 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 15 minutes, until the mushrooms and bacon are both crisp.
8
On a second baking sheet, toss the brussels sprouts with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Roast for 11 minutes, or until crisp.
9
Serve the chicken alongside roasted vegetables.
