Coriander And Chilli Grilled Chicken Fillets Recipes

GRILLED CHICKEN WITH CORIANDER AND CHILI

Steps:

• MAKE CORIANDER AND CHILI PASTE:.
• Blend or process ingredients until mixture forms a smooth paste.
• MARINATE CHICKEN THIGHS:.
• Pierce chicken all over with a sharp knife. Combine chicken and paste in a large bowl. Rub paste into cuts.
• Cover. Refrigerate overnight.
• COOK CHICKEN:.
• Cook chicken, covered in heated, oiled grill pan, 5 minutes.
• Uncover, cook, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes or until cooked (when a meat thermometer in the thickest part of the chicken registers 170 degrees Fahrenheit or 76.67 degrees Centigrade).
• Serve chicken, if desired, with thin rice noodles and lime wedges.

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.

GRILLED CHICKEN WITH CHILLI & SESAME SEEDS

Steps:

• Slice each chicken breast lengthways into 2 thin pieces. Rub with the oil and season on both sides. Heat a grill pan and cook the pieces for 2-3 mins each side.
• While the chicken is cooking, mix the chilli sauce, ginger, honey and vinegar with a little seasoning in a small bowl. Brush over the chicken as it cooks - wait until it is grilled on one side first before brushing, or it will burn.
• Blanch the broccoli, divide between the plates and pour over the remaining sauce. Top with the chicken and sesame seeds.

CORIANDER CHICKEN WITH RICE & SPICED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Use a stick blender or mini food processor to whizz up all the chutney ingredients, then chill.
• Heat the oil in a large, lidded frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the onions and fry for 9-10 mins, then add the ginger, garlic and chilli. Cook for a few mins more, then add the chicken. Brown well, then add half the coriander chutney and reduce the heat. Cover and cook for 15-20 mins or until the chicken is cooked through.
• Rinse the rice in a sieve, then tip into a large, lidded saucepan. Stir in all the ingredients for the rice. Pour over enough boiling water to cover the rice by 1cm, cover, bring to the boil and cook for 5 mins. Turn off the heat and leave to steam-cook with the lid on for 20 mins. Fluff up with a fork, then season.
• Put the broccoli and green beans in a pan and add 100ml boiling water. Cover and cook over a medium-high heat for 4-5 mins. Drain and return to the pan with the oil, ginger, chilli flakes and some seasoning. Cook for another 2 mins, then serve with the chicken, remaining chutney and the rice.

GRILLED CHILLI & CORIANDER SALMON WITH GINGER RICE

Steps:

• Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan and put the kettle on to boil. Fry the onion for a few mins until lightly browned. Stir in the ginger and garlic, fry for 1 min, then stir in the rice. Add 300ml boiling water and a little salt, then bring to the boil. Cover and cook for 10-12 mins until the rice is tender. Heat grill to medium.
• Brush a baking tray lightly with a little oil. Put the salmon on top and grill for 4-5 mins, then scatter with chilli, coriander, remaining olive oil and seasoning. Grill again for just 4-5 mins until the salmon is cooked through. Serve with the rice and lime halves for squeezing over.
