Chicken & Miso Pan Sauce
with Charred Broccoli Sesame Salad
- Sesame
- Soy
- Milk
For this light, satisfying Asian-inspired meal, we drape a juicy seared chicken cutlet in a miso-garlic sauce enriched with a bit of butter. Serve it with a pan-charred broccoli and cabbage salad, dotted with scallions and cucumber, tossed in a sesame vinaigrette. We finish it off with a shower of scallion greens and sesame seeds.

Cooking Steps
Wash and dry produce.
Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if necessary. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Trim and dice cucumber into ¼-inch pieces.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add broccoli and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly charred, 4-5 minutes.
Add ½ cup water (1 cup for 4 servings) and cook until broccoli is tender and water has evaporated, 2-3 minutes more.
Turn off heat; transfer to a medium bowl. Wipe out pan.
Pat chicken* dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for broccoli over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 5-7 minutes per side. TIP: If chicken begins to brown too quickly, reduce heat to medium.
Turn off heat; transfer to a cutting board. Tent with foil to keep warm. Wipe out pan.
Combine ¼ cup water, miso sauce concentrate, half the garlic powder, and a pinch of salt in pan used for chicken over medium heat (use ⅓ cup water and all the garlic powder for 4 servings). Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes.
Remove from heat; stir in 1 TBSP butter and ¼ tsp sugar until combined (2 TBSP butter and ½ tsp sugar and for 4).
In a large bowl, combine vinegar, half the sesame oil (all for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Add broccoli, coleslaw mix, scallion whites, cucumber, and half the sesame seeds. Toss until coated.
Slice chicken crosswise.
Divide chicken and charred broccoli salad between plates. Spoon miso pan sauce over chicken. Sprinkle with scallion greens and remaining sesame seeds. Serve.

Reviews from our home cooks
The chicken and the miso sauce were pretty bland. Best part of the meal was the green bean cabbage salad, although the rice wine vinegar and sesame oil could've been balanced a bit by some sweetness. It was an OK dish, but we probably wouldn't purchase again.
This was very simple but so tasty, the miso pan sauce was delish and I loved the variety of the green bean & cabbage sesame salad. Yay instant favorite!!
Flavor explosion in your mouth. If it weren't for Hello Fresh, I feel like we would have missed out. You have a nicely balanced sour, salty meal. Nicely balanced. Note: do not over do the sesame oil.
It seemed weird to have green beans in coleslaw but it was surprisingly good. I did cut the green beans into 1 inch pieces though.
Liked the chicken and sauce. Love having meals with a salad. Not crazy about the green beans in it but still good
Good! I wasn't crazy about the green beans in the salad so I cooked them separately and served some rice with it.
The chicken cutlets don't match the photo. This was better as a salad with chopped chicken.
It's a close second to the Vietnamese Crunch Salad. I will definitely order it again.
This was good. - our cabbage was brown when we opened it but i had an on-hand substitute
Good light meal. My slaw didn't have any of the purple slaw nothing long and big like the picture shows.
