Hi Nathalie,
(I always enjoy reading your posts, btw.)
I'm sat at my desk enjoying a piece of chicken breast I made last night. Just to warn you - I'm a 'chuck-it-in-and-see-what-it-tastes-like' kinda gal... no measuring, no weighing. In essence - no faffing around. This means no two chicken breasts tastes the same. Anyway, here's today's recipe with approximate quantities:
- 1 Tbsp Fish sauce
- 1 Tbsp Oyster sauce
- Zest of 1 lime
- Juice of the lime you've zested
- 3 Tbsp Coconut oil, melted (but you can use any healthy oil you have)
- 3 cloves Garlic, crushed (less if you prefer)
- 1 Tbsp Ginger, finely grated
- Black pepper to taste
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika (optional)
- Scotch Bonnet pepper finely chopped (if you like the heat; if not use chilli flakes)
Mix all the above together and adjust to your taste. I don't usually add extra salt but feel free to do so. In fact, feel free to leave out any of the above ingredients or add your favourite.
- Chicken Breast(s), whole or cut into strips
Put the chicken breasts(s) in the mixture and leave to marinade for as long as you can/need. If you don't have time stab the breasts all over with a fork (my method, as I cook fresh food daily after work) and swish around in the marinade to cover well.
Grill under medium heat, turning frequently until nicely brown and cooked through.
Alternatively, roast in the oven, gas mark 5-6 for about 45 minutes, turning the chicken halfway through cooking.
Enjoy!
Ama
