4 garlic cloves, smashed
4 slices peeled fresh ginger, smashed (1/4-inch each)
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon caraway seed
1/2 green bell pepper, finely chopped
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 cups dark lager beer (preferably Xingu Black Beer) or 2 cups stout beer (American beer is good too)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 oz each)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
lime wedge, for serving

Steps:

In a shallow dish, mix the garlic, ginger, onion, paprika, salt, black pepper, caraway seeds, green pepper, mustard, beer and oil.
Add the chicken, cover and refrigerate for 4 hours, turning a few times.
Light a grill.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill over high heat until nicely browned and just cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.
Transfer the chicken to a platter and brush with the melted butter.
Scatter the cilantro over the top and serve with lime wedges.
Wonderful with baked potatoes and a green vegetable.
*Xingu Black Beer is an anise-scented, bittersweet black lager from Brazil.*.
