| Lemon Pepper Chicken - submitted by Dahlia on 12-16-2008
Ingredients Chicken Breast - 2 (You can use drumsticks too)
Freshly ground pepper - 1 tblsp (or as per taste)
Lemon - 2
Salt - as needed
Oil - 1 tsp
Turmeric Powder - 1/4 tsp
Ginger garlic paste - 1 tsp
Cilantro - handful 
Method
1. Gently scrap the zest of both the lemon and put it in a bowl.
2. Add the ginger garlic paste, salt, turmeric powder, fresh ground pepper powder, finely chopped cilantro, juice of one lemon and little oil and make a paste.
3. Make slits in few places in the chicken for the marination to get in nicely. Rub the marination paste all over the chicken and let it marinate for atleast half an hour in the fridge. Ovrenight marination would be good.
4. Transfer it to a baking dish, cover it with aluminium foil and Bake it in a 350 degree F oven for half an hour.
5. Uncover the dish, transfer the chicken to a new tray and bake it for another 10- 15 minutes to crisp up the outside. Turn the side of the chicken after 10 minutes so that all the sides get crisped up uniformly.
6. Remove it and transfer it to the serving plate. When it is still hot, add the juice of 1 whole lemon on top of the chicken.
7. Have as a meal with some pasta and some vegetables. If you make the same with small pieces of chicken, it would be a side with any rice dish too. Comments Comment by Monica Miranda
I'm from the Philippines. I would love to try this recipe but I wonder if there is Cilandro here. However, you may also like to check my homemade chicken broth recipe at http://chickenbrothrecipes.com/ Reply :- Hi Monica, Cilantro is also called Corriander Leaves. You can also replace it with some other herbs. I went through your blog. You have a very good collection. All the best. |
Comment by Aaisha tajmat on 16 February 2010 19:26PM whats this dear "Cilantro" Reply :- Cilantro (corriander leaves) refers to the leaves of the corriander seeds. It is a herb very commonly used in most of the indian cooking. You can find it fresh or in dried form in most american, chinese and indian stores. |
