A recipe I really enjoy that I cooked a couple of weekends ago and thought I’d share here today. I use all the optional ingredients because I like it spicky but I know thats not to everyones taste. I think I’ve been watching too many cheffy cooking shows because when I did this recipe last I collected the cooking juices and remaining marinate which I liquidized and reduced to make a sauce which was strong but tasty.
Serves 4
Ingredients
- 4 Chicken Breasts cut into rough 1 inch dice
Ingredients for the Marinate:
- 2-3 tbsp olive oil
- Juice and rind of 1 Orange
- Juice of 3 limes
- 50ml Pineapple Juice
- Pinch of sugar
- 8-10 cloves of finely chopped garlic
- Salt and Pepper
Optional Ingredients for the Marinate:
- 1 bunch of fresh coriander roughly chopped
- 2 tsp Cumin
- 1 tbsp mild chilli powder
- 1 tbsp paprika
-
Mix the marinate ingredients in a none metallic container then add
the chicken and mix well to coat the chicken -
Leave for an hour at room temperature or if possible for the
refrigerator for 24 hours -
Remove the chicken from the marinate and lay out on a baking tray
or roasting dish -
Cook in the oven for 20-25minutes at gas mark 6 turning
occasionally and basting with the liquid from the marinate - Serve with rice, lime wedges and sweet corn
