Ingredients

2 chicken breasts, skinless, butterflied

Rub
2 tablespoons shio koji

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

  2. (2nd day) Remove the rub off chicken and pat dry using paper towels. Bring the chicken up to room temperature. Then roll up chicken breast, making sure the thickness is even. Sprinkle black pepper and top with 1 sprig of rosemary. Tightly wrap with plastic wrap and tie both ends. Repeat this step to make another roll.
