How to cook:

1. You should start by marinating the breast. Coat it with the necessary ingredients (do not salt, because the soy sauce is already salty) and let the meat soak for 20 minutes.

3. Finely chop the mushrooms (with the exception of a small amount for decoration) and add to the pan. Season with spices, salt. When all the moisture has evaporated, the mushroom component will be ready.

5. Fry the breast on a Teflon substrate or without it, covered with a lid, over a fire below medium. This will take 10-13 minutes. Thanks to the marinade, which contains honey, the fillet will acquire a fried, as if smoked, crust.
