Categories     dinner, main course

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, about 6 ounces each
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground turmeric
1 pinch cayenne pepper to taste
1 teaspoon ground coriander
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons melted butter
2 tablespoons freshly chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Place in a small mixing bowl the olive oil, lemon juice, ginger, cumin, turmeric, cayenne pepper, ground coriander and salt. Using a wire whisk, blend well.
  • Place the chicken breasts in a shallow baking dish large enough to hold them in one layer. With a pastry brush, coat each piece on both sides with all the marinade. Cover the dish with plastic wrap, and let stand for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the broiler to high. Remove the chicken from the marinade, and broil in a broiling pan 3 to 4 inches from the source for 4 minutes on the first side.
  • Turn the chicken over, and broil it for 3 to 4 minutes more or until done. Do not overcook.
  • Reduce temperature to 400 degrees. Return the chicken to the baking dish, and add the melted butter to the sauce in the pan. Return to the oven, and bake for 3 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with the fresh coriander, and serve.

This recipe is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. Next time I'll use less cayenne pepper.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with some leftover roasted chicken and it was delicious.

I'm not a big fan of cayenne pepper, so I used paprika instead. The chicken still turned out great.
