Broiled Breaded Chicken With Coriander Lime Pesto Recipes

CORIANDER LIME GRILLED CHICKEN LEGS

Steps:

• Put the lime juice, zest, coriander, cilantro, scallion and honey in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine. With the processor running, add the olive oil in a steady stream. Turn the motor off and add the salt and pepper. Pulse to combine. Pour the mixture into a nonreactive bowl and add the chicken legs to it. Toss to coat well and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Place a 10-inch cast iron grill pan over high heat for 3 minutes. Put 4 of the chicken legs into the pan and grill 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until the juice runs clear if speared with a knife. Repeat the process with the rest of the chicken. Allow to cool to room temperature and refrigerate until ready to use.

LIME & CORIANDER CHICKEN

Steps:

• First, spatchcock the chicken so that it will sit flat on the barbecue. All this means is using a pair of kitchen scissors or a sharp kitchen knife to cut down either side of the parson's nose to completely remove the backbone. Then, place the chicken, breast side up, on a chopping board and push down hard to flatten with your hands. Use a sharp knife to make lots of deep slashes in the chicken, about three in each breast and two in each leg.
• In a mortar and pestle, crush the garlic and peppercorns together to a grey, mushy paste. Stir the lime juice into the paste, then the chopped coriander. Put the chicken in a dish and massage the marinade into the chicken. Cover with cling film and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, but preferably overnight.
• To cook the chicken, fire up the barbecue. When the flames die down and the coals are hot and glowing, lay the chicken on the barbecue, skin side up, and sprinkle with salt. You will be tempted to keep prodding it and lifting it up, but leave it alone. After 25 mins, the chicken will look like it's cooked through, but flip it over and give the skin side 10 mins to brown. Lift the chicken onto a chopping board and leave to rest for a few minutes.
• You can now carve conventionally but I like to get a cleaver and chop it straight down into thick slices. Pile it up on a platter and serve scattered with fresh coriander and lime wedges.

BROILED BREADED CHICKEN WITH CORIANDER LIME PESTO

Steps:

• Set rack about 6 inches from heat and preheat broiler.
• Dip chicken breasts, 1 at a time, in milk mixture, letting excess drip off, and coat with bread crumb mixture, patting to adhere. Transfer chicken as coated to rack of a foil-lined broiler pan. Broil chicken until cooked through, about 7 minutes on each side.
• In a small bowl whisk together pesto, yogurt, lime juice, and 1 tablespoon hot water, adding additional hot water if necessary to reach desired consistency. Season pesto with salt and pepper and serve over chicken.
• To make the pesto:
• In a food processor blend together all ingredients with salt and pepper to taste until smooth. (Pesto keeps, surface covered with plastic wrap, chilled, 1 week.) Makes about 2/3 cup.

BROILED PAPRIKA AND LEMON-PEPPER CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Grease a broiler pan with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil.
• Rinse chicken breasts and pat dry. Brush with remaining olive oil until coated. Sprinkle each piece evenly on both sides with paprika, lemon-pepper, and salt. Place on the prepared broiler pan, sprinkle garlic over top, and sprinkle onions around the base of the chicken, with several smaller pieces on top.
• Cook under the preheated broiler for 5 minutes. Flip and continue to cook, checking often, until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 10 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

• Spread a generous amount of the cheese mixture on the pounded out chicken breast.
• Roll the chicken breast up and secure with toothpicks.
