Coriander and lime chicken (recipes)






Serves 4



Preparation time

1-2 hours



Cooking time

less than 10 mins

















Ingredients



6 garlic cloves4 tbsp fresh coriander leaves, plus extra, to garnish2 tsp black peppercorns, coarsely ground2 tsp caster sugar2 limes, juice only2 tsp Thai fish sauce (nam pla)1 tbsp light soy sauce1 tbsp sunflower oil4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts



Method



1. Finely chop the garlic and coriander then mix in the peppercorns, sugar, lime juice, fish sauce, soy sauce and sunflower oil until well blended. Place the chicken breasts in the marinade and set aside for 1-2 hours, turning from time to time.2. Preheat a ridged griddle pan or heavy, non stick frying-pan and cook the chicken for 7-8 minutes on each side until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown with good bar marks. Serve hot or cold, garnished with coriander leaves.Tip: The marinade contains lime juice, which tenderises the chicken. After more than a few hours though, the meat fibres can become so soft that the chicken literally falls apart, which means that this dish is not suitable for overnight marinating.
