Best Broiled Chicken Breasts With Cayenne And Ginger Recipes

JUICY BROILED CHICKEN BREAST

Steps:

• Position an oven rack 4 inched below the heating element and preheat your broiler on high (500°F). Line a large broiler-safe rimmed baking sheet with foil and lightly grease the foil.
• Dry the chicken breasts with paper towels.
• Slice each of them horizontally into two even pieces.*
• Place the chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet. Spray them with oil, season with half the seasonings, then spray with more oil.**
• Broil them for 3 minutes on the first side. Flip them, season the second side with the remaining seasonings, and spray it with more oil.
• Broil the second side for 3-5 more minutes, depending on how thick the chicken pieces are and on how hot your broiler is. Their internal temperature should reach 165°F.
• Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

SIMPLE BROILED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Set an oven rack 4 to 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Spray a broiler pan with cooking spray.
• Combine butter, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl; mix until well blended.
• Place chicken on the prepared pan and brush with 1/2 of the butter mixture.
• Broil in the preheated oven for 6 minutes. Turn chicken, brush with remaining butter mixture, and broil until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 6 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

SPICY CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, salt, onion powder, thyme, cayenne pepper, and ground black pepper. Set aside about 3 tablespoons of this seasoning mixture for the chicken; store the remainder in an airtight container for later use (for seasoning fish, meats, or vegetables).
• Preheat grill for medium-high heat. Rub some of the reserved 3 tablespoons of seasoning onto both sides of the chicken breasts.
• Lightly oil the grill grate. Place chicken on the grill, and cook for 6 to 8 minutes on each side, until juices run clear.

GRILLED GINGER GARLIC CHICKEN BREASTS

• Flatten the breasts to 1/2" thickness.
• Combine lemon juice, ginger, garlic, oil and cumin.
• Spread over the chicken.
• Marinate for 10 minutes.
• Grill or broil 2-3 minutes each side.

YOGURT-GINGER MARINATED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Stir together yogurt, ginger, cumin, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
• Starting on one long side, cut each chicken piece almost in half horizontally (stop about 1/2 inch before reaching opposite side). Open each piece like a book.
• Add chicken to marinade in dish; turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours.
• Preheat broiler. Toss together red onion, cucumber, cilantro, lime juice, remaining 1/4 teaspoon cayenne (or to taste), and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
• Transfer chicken to a broiler pan. Discard marinade. Broil chicken, rotating pan once, until cooked through, about 10 minutes. Top with cucumber mixture.

BROILED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH CAYENNE AND GINGER

Steps:

• Place in a small mixing bowl the olive oil, lemon juice, ginger, cumin, turmeric, cayenne pepper, ground coriander and salt. Using a wire whisk, blend well.
• Place the chicken breasts in a shallow baking dish large enough to hold them in one layer. With a pastry brush, coat each piece on both sides with all the marinade. Cover the dish with plastic wrap, and let stand for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the broiler to high. Remove the chicken from the marinade, and broil in a broiling pan 3 to 4 inches from the source for 4 minutes on the first side.
• Turn the chicken over, and broil it for 3 to 4 minutes more or until done. Do not overcook.
• Reduce temperature to 400 degrees. Return the chicken to the baking dish, and add the melted butter to the sauce in the pan. Return to the oven, and bake for 3 minutes.
• Sprinkle with the fresh coriander, and serve.
