Saw a recipe which I used as a guide. Used breasts instead of pieces, increased the garlic & poached the chicken in the marinade first as my meat was very thick. Finished by browning the chicken for a more appetising appearance. YUM! Great for garlic lovers. Prep time does not include marinating time, as that can vary, depending on the time you have. Ingredients:
4 chicken breasts |
8 cloves garlic, peeled |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
8 -10 black peppercorns, whole |
2 lemons, juice of, about 1/4 cup |
parsley, one bunch,about 1/4 cup |
olive oil |
butter, for frying (optional) |
Directions:
1. Trim chicken as desired, cut a couple of diagonal slashes in each piece and set aside.
2. Add all other ingredients, except oil and butter to food processor and blend to a paste.
3. With motor running, drizzle in oil until the mixture is a pale green.
4. I used about 1/4 cup, but this can vary to taste.
5. Cover the chicken with marinade and refrigerate for as long as possible, 3-24 hours.
6. Melt butter in pan (if using) and turn the heat down.
7. Place chicken breasts in pan with all the marinade and cover.
8. The meat I used was very thick, but if your chicken breasts are thinner it may be possible to skip this step and just fry or grill more quickly over a higher heat.
9. After about 10 minutes the steam has helped cooked through the chicken.
10. Remove lid, increase heat (med-high) and brown chicken on both sides.
11. I served this with a side of steamed spinach and Felicitys Stuffed Red Peppers, also here on Zaar.
12. I had some leftovers, cold for lunch, and they were delicious, the garlic flavour had intensified& the meat was moist.
