Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 cup Fresh coriander leaves
- 2 pieces Red chili (finely chopped)
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves (minced)
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 teaspoons Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a blender or food processor, combine fresh coriander leaves, chopped red chili, minced garlic, olive oil, lime juice, ground coriander, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth to create a marinade.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts in a large bowl or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor).
Step 3
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Place the chicken on the preheated grill.
Step 5
Grill the chicken for about 7-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is cooked through. Adjust grilling time based on thickness.
Step 6
Once cooked, transfer the grilled chicken to a plate and let it rest for 3-5 minutes to retain its juices.
Step 7
Garnish with additional fresh coriander leaves and a squeeze of lime if desired. Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
