Chicken Breast Pastrami

Ingredients

• 300 g — chicken breast
• 100 ml — water
• 1/2 tsp — salt
• a pinch — black pepper
• 1/2 tsp — garlic powder (or crushed garlic)
• 2 leaves — bay leaves
• 10 g — butter 65%
• 7 ml (1 tsp) — honey
• a pinch — dried oregano
• 1 tsp — sweet paprika

Preparation

I prepared the marinade for the chicken breast: in 100 ml of cold water I added salt, pepper, garlic and the crumbled bay leaves, then left the chicken to marinate for 12 hours (I chose to leave it overnight in the refrigerator in a covered dish). I prepared the glaze by mixing melted butter with honey, oregano and sweet paprika. I placed the chicken breast in a baking dish with 5 tablespoons of the marinade, covered it with a lid (or aluminium foil) and baked it in the oven for 20–25 minutes at 180°C, then removed the cover and let it brown for another 20 minutes at 200°C. Enjoy!
