👉 If you use high heat, the chicken breast will easily dry out, so keep it on medium heat the whole time.
④ Flip and continue cooking
⑤ Once lightly browned, add the butter and grated garlic to bring out the aroma

6. Once fragrant, add the soy sauce and mirin, and toss quickly to coat.

How to reheat in the morning
Cover with plastic wrap and microwave at 500W for
30 to 40 seconds to make it moist and tender.
Chicken breast gets tough if overheated, so a short time and plastic wrap will keep it moist.
Alternatively, you can return it to a frying pan and
stir-fry it lightly for a delicious result.
