Spice Rubbed Chicken With Millet Pilaf Recipes

Steps:

• Marinate the chicken: In a large ziplock bag, combine the yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, orange zest, and spices. Add the chicken, and marinate for at least 1 hour. (If using tempeh, use the same marinade, but for 30 minutes.)
• Preheat the oven to 375°F. Prepare a broiler pan or a sheet tray with wire rack by spraying with oil. Set aside.
• Make the tabbouleh: Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, and stir well. Let the flavors meld for at least 20 minutes (which is perfect, since you need that time to cook the chicken).
• Remove chicken (or tempeh) from marinade, pat dry with paper towels, and arrange on the prepared baking sheet. If your chicken has skin, place it skin-side down.
• Bake the chicken for 20 to 25 minutes, then flip and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, skin side up, until meat has reached 160°F and skin is crisp. Remove from heat, and let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Trim chicken of visible fat.
• Mix dry ingredients together and rub on chicken.
• Spray large, nonstick skillet with cooking spray.
• Heat over high heat until just smoking.
• Add chicken.
• Immediately reduce heat to medium and let cook for 3-4 minutes.
• Turn chicken and cook until done through, 4-5 minutes more.
• Top with fruit salsa, regular salsa, guacomole or another sauce, if desired.
