Garlic Ginger Chicken Breasts With Cilantro And Mint Recipes

Steps:

• Flatten the breasts to 1/2" thickness.
• Combine lemon juice, ginger, garlic, oil and cumin.
• Spread over the chicken.
• Marinate for 10 minutes.
• Grill or broil 2-3 minutes each side.
• Season with salt & pepper.

Steps:

• Pound the chicken to 1/2 inch thickness. In a large resealable plastic bag combine the garlic, ginger, oil and lime juice. Seal bag and shake until blended. Open bag and add chicken. Seal bag and marinate in refrigerator for no more than 20 minutes.
• Remove chicken from bag and grill or broil, basting with marinade, until cooked through and juices run clear. Dispose of any remaining marinade.

Steps:

• In a marinating bowl or large ziploc bag, mix together spicy brown mustard, horseradish, olive oil, water, garlic, gingers, pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper.
• Add chicken and marinate as little as 30 min or as long as possible.
• When ready to cook, preheat oven to 400-425. Place chicken and all of the marinade in a shallow baking dish lined with foil for easy clean up. Sprinkle dried rosemary on top of all the chicken breasts. Do not cover.
• Bake in oven for 50-65 minutes, basting chicken with juices once after 30 minutes, and once during last 5 minutes of baking time.
• Once chicken is out of the oven, let chicken rest at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving so juices can redistribute. Serving too quickly will not result in juicy moist chicken! :).

Steps:

• Put the mint, garlic, parsley and pepper in a food processor and coarsly chop.
• Add the olive oil and wine (or apple juice)
• Blend again. If you are using dried hot red pepper flakes, add it now, no need to chop it further.
• Place chicken breasts and marinade into a zippered plastic bag, shake it about, and allow to marinate at least 3 hours up to overnight.
• About 1/2 an hour prior to cooking, add 2 tbsp lemon juice. (Adding the lemon juice sooner, will add too much lemon flavor, and it will tend to "cook" portions of the chicken).
• Start cooking on medium on the BBQ, and reduce to low. You absolutely don't want it to dry out. Times will vary depending on your BBQ and the thickness of the breast. I use one of those BBQ saute pans with the holes in it, and it works better than directly on the grill. Feel free to pour the extra marinade over the breasts as they cook.
• I most often serve this with a wild rice and orzo pilaf, and fresh vegetables (such as asparagus or snow peas or sauteed yellow zucchini with red peppers, red onions and grape tomatoes, with a bit of that mint added at the end).

Steps:

• Place chicken breasts between two sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Using a rolling pin or a bottle, pound each to an even ½-inch thickness. Season both sides with salt.
• In a small bowl, combine the ginger, garlic, cilantro, cayenne and 4 tablespoons oil. Finely grate the lime zest directly into the bowl; reserve the lime. Rub both sides of the chicken breasts with the marinade. Let sit at room temperature for at least 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cut the cabbage lengthwise, core it, then slice crosswise into ½-inch-thick strips. Transfer to a large bowl and toss in the cucumber slices, chives and mint leaves.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in 1 tablespoon oil and heat until shimmering, about 1 minute. Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook, turning once, until golden brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Cut the reserved lime in half and squeeze the juice over the chicken; slice the chicken. Transfer the chicken to serving plates and slice.
• Toss the cabbage mixture with the vinegar and remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Season to taste with salt and serve alongside the chicken.
