Finishing the yuzu marinated chicken -- 15 minutes

Heat a large skillet on medium-high heat, theres no need to add any extra oil or butter. Transfer the chicken out of the marinade and cook them on both side for a few minutes.

Add the marinade to the skillet, turn down the heat, put the lid on and cook the chicken slowly in about 10 minutes. Turn the chicken a few times and the exact time depends on the thickness of the chicken breasts.

Serve the tender chicken with the sauce, noodles or rice and a lovely salad. Enjoy!
