Easy Persian Chicken Breasts
Easy Persian Chicken Breasts
Ingredients:
• 2 chicken breasts
• 4 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tsp turmeric
• 1 tsp salt
• 1⁄4 tsp black pepper
• 1⁄4 tsp cinnamon
• 1⁄4 tsp allspice
• 1 garlic clove, sliced
• 1⁄4 tsp paprika
• 1⁄4 tsp cayenne (optional)
• 1 tbsp honey
• lemon
• chopped parsley, for garnish
Instructions:
1. Lay the chicken breast flat on a cutting board with the smooth side up. With a long, sharp knife, carefully cut horizontally through the breast, keeping the knife parallel to the board at all times. It will open up like a book, and you will have two fillets. Repeat with the second chicken breast.
2. To make the marinade, pour olive oil into a non-metallic dish. Add turmeric, salt, paprika, cayenne, cinnamon, allspice, pepper, and garlic. Mix to create a paste.
3. Add chicken to the marinade and coat with it. Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
4. Remove chicken 15 minutes before cooking. Heat a heavy pan over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade and cook for 3 minutes on each side until cooked. Brush with honey and serve garnished with chopped parsley and lemon slices.
