Description

A flavorful and easy-to-prepare grilled chicken dish with a creamy coriander sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 cup fresh coriander (cilantro), chopped
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken breasts with olive oil, cumin, paprika, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the sauce: While the chicken is marinating, blend together the fresh coriander, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice, minced garlic, and salt. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
  3. Grill the chicken: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the marinated chicken on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  4. Serve it up: Remove the chicken from the grill, let it rest for a few minutes, slice it, and serve with the creamy coriander sauce.

Notes

Chicken can dry out quickly on the grill; use a meat thermometer for the best results. The coriander sauce can be prepared ahead of time.
