Ingredients:

• • 4 chicken breasts, skinless boneless
  • 2 Tbsp Paprika or mild chilli powder
  • 2 ¼ tsp dried coriander leaves
  • 2  tsp mixed dried herbs ( chives, parsley and fenugreek)
  • 1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper OR crushed green pepper
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp ginger powder
  • 4½ Tbsp Olive oil
  • salt to taste (just about 2 tsp)
  • Oil for brushing.

Method:

• Rinse and pat dry the Chicken breasts.
• Put one breast at a time in a zipper bag (Smooth side facing up). Using a mallet, pound the chicken gently till it is evenly flattened into a steak. (Like a Schnitzell). Don’t use too much force or the chicken will be mashed to a paste. 
• Add all the remaining ingredients including the olive oil. Rub well into the pieces.
• Leave to marinate at least 30 minutes or unto 3 hours in the fridge.
• Bring to room temp prior to grilling.
• Heat the grill pan. Before it gets too hot, apply a thin layer of oil over it.
• Place 2-4 pieces, according to size of pan. Grill on one side on moderate heat for about 5 minutes, till nicely grilled and the chicken releases easily from the pan.
• Flip and repeat on other side.
• Serve hot with garlic sauce and rice.

• I use the dried powders for onion, ginger and garlic in this recipe. I also use only dried herbs. I find the flavor is better for this grilled chicken. If you don’t have any of them, you may substitute with fresh ingredients but be carful on the grill, as the fresh ingredients tend to burn easily.
• Instead of paprika and black pepper spice powders in this recipe, you can incorporate spice mixes like Ras el Hanout or Baharat also.

Key Ingredients: Chicken, Spices, Dried Herbs, Salt, Pepper, Olive Oil.
