Best Lime And Coriander Marinated Chicken Recipes

LIME AND CORIANDER MARINATED CHICKEN

Lime and Coriander Marinated Chicken image

We have one of those electric table-top grills which we often get out for informal parties. It means you can put out a selection of different types of meats and people can cook it the way they like it. It's sociable and fun, and easy with a couple of side dishes of salad, potatoes, pasta, rice, or whatever you fancy. I made this marinade up yesterday to jazz up the chicken breasts I had, and it was delish. Lovely and moist with a nice flavour.

2 chicken breasts
1 lime, juiced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1 teaspoon salt
100 ml olive oil
handful fresh coriander, chopped

Steps:

Slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces (I prefer strips like goujons rather than cubes).
In a bowl, mix all the ingredients together and add the chicken.
Leave to stand for at least one hour, stirring occasionally.
Heat your grill and cook each piece for a couple of minutes, until cooked through.

GINGER-LIME CHICKEN

Though this may look like regular old chicken, don't be fooled: It's buzzing with the bright flavors of ginger and lime. Mayonnaise is the secret ingredient in this recipe, which is a trick J. Kenji López-Alt has written about. When slathered on boneless chicken and cooked, the beloved condiment carries flavor, sticks to the meat well, encourages browning and prevents the pieces of lime zest and ginger - or whatever seasonings you choose - from burning. Try this technique first with ginger and lime zest, then experiment with grated garlic, jalapeño, lemon, Parmesan and whatever else you can imagine. Serve with a pile of white rice and a fresh green salad topped with thinly sliced avocado.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 1/2 to 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lime zest (from about 2 limes), plus lime wedges, for serving
1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger (from a 3-inch piece of peeled ginger)

Steps:

Pat the chicken dry and season all over with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. In a medium bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, lime zest and ginger; season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the mayonnaise mixture and stir to coat. (The chicken can sit in the marinade for up to 8 hours in the fridge. Let come to room temperature before cooking.)
To grill: Heat a grill to medium-high. Grill the chicken over direct heat until cooked through and juices run clear, about 5 minutes per side for thighs and about 4 minutes per side for breasts, turning as necessary to avoid burning.
To cook in a skillet: Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Cook the chicken until juices run clear, about 5 minutes per side for thighs and about 4 minutes per side for breasts.
Serve chicken with lime wedges, for squeezing on top.
