Best Chicken With Tamarind Pomegranate Sauce Recipes

THAI TAMARIND CHICKEN

Steps:

• Mix soy sauce and flour together in a large bowl until blended. Add chicken and mix until coated.
• Mix water, fish sauce, brown sugar, and tamarind paste together in a bowl.
• Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add garlic, chile pepper, and ginger and fry for 1 to 3 minutes. Remove chicken from the marinade and add to the wok; stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes. Add 1/2 the tamarind sauce mixture to the wok and continue stir-frying until liquid dries up. Add remaining sauce and cook until chicken is no longer pink inside and sauce is thickened to desired consistency, 10 to 15 minutes more.

GRILLED TAMARIND AND ORANGE GLAZED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Whisk olive oil, herbes de Provence, garlic, salt, and black pepper in a bowl; place chicken in marinade and stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate 1 to 6 hours, turning chicken occasionally in marinade.
• Whisk chicken broth, orange juice, sugar, orange zest, butter, tamarind paste, and ginger in a saucepan and place over medium-high heat. Cook at a vigorous boil, whisking often, until mixture has reduced to about 3/4 cup and glaze coats the back of a spoon, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in chile-garlic sauce; season tamarind glaze with salt and black pepper.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat. Spray a grill pan with cooking spray. Pour about 3 tablespoons tamarind glaze into a small bowl for basting and set aside.
• Place chicken breasts onto preheated grill; discard used marinade. Grill chicken until browned, the meat is no longer pink inside, and the juices run clear, about 4 minutes per side, basting with reserved tamarind glaze. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a breast should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a serving plate and serve with remaining tamarind glaze poured on top.
