Coriander And Lime Chicken Food

CORIANDER AND LIME CHICKEN

Steps:

• Finely chop the garlic and corriander then mix in the peppercorns, sugar, lime juice, fish sauce, soy sauce and sunflower oil until well blended.
• Place the chicken breasts in the marinade and set aside for 1-2 hours, turning from time to time.
• Preheat a heavy based non-stick and cook the chicken for 7-8 minutes on each side until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
• Serve hot or cold with a pasta salad, garnished with corriander leaves.

LIME AND CORIANDER MARINATED CHICKEN

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.

CORIANDER LIME GRILLED CHICKEN LEGS

Steps:

• Put the lime juice, zest, coriander, cilantro, scallion and honey in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine. With the processor running, add the olive oil in a steady stream. Turn the motor off and add the salt and pepper. Pulse to combine. Pour the mixture into a nonreactive bowl and add the chicken legs to it. Toss to coat well and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Place a 10-inch cast iron grill pan over high heat for 3 minutes. Put 4 of the chicken legs into the pan and grill 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until the juice runs clear if speared with a knife. Repeat the process with the rest of the chicken. Allow to cool to room temperature and refrigerate until ready to use.

CILANTRO LIME CHICKEN

Steps:

• Make the marinade of garlic, cilantro, ground peppercorns, sugar, lime juice, fish sauce, soy sauce and sunflower oil.
• Blend well.
• Place chicken breasts with marinade in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag, coating them well, and set in the refrigerator at least 1 hour and no more than 2, turning them from time to time.
• Preheat a ridged griddle pan or heavy non-stick frying pan and cook the chicken for 7-8 minutes each side until the chicken is cooked through.
• Serve hot or cold, garnished with cilantro leaves.

CHICKEN WITH CHILLI & LIME

Steps:

• Add the coriander to pestle and mortar and crush then add the rest of the spices and mix thoroughly. Rub the chicken with oil and rub in the spice mixture. Then rub the lime zest on top. Leave to one side.
• Add a little oil to a medium saucepan. Fry the onion and half the sliced garlic for a few minutes then add the chicken stock. Add the rice and cook per packet instructions. Add the kale about 5 minutes before the rice is cooked.
• Meanwhile heat a griddle pan and cook the chicken turning once. While cooking heat a little oil in a small saucepan and fry the rest of the garlic and all the chilli. After a few minutes add all the lime and lemon juice and cook on a high heat until thickened slightly then remove from the heat.
• Pile half the rice on each plate and place a chicken breast on each pile. Finish with half the chilli lime dressing on top and serve.

STICKY LIME ROAST CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Squeeze all the limes into a bowl and pop the lime halves into the chicken cavity with the whole garlic, half the chilli, half the ginger and the coriander stalks. Place the chicken in a roasting tin and roast for 1 hr.
• While the chicken is roasting, make a sticky glaze. Add the remaining garlic, chilli, ginger, brown sugar and fish sauce to the lime juice and use a hand blender or small blender to blitz until smooth. Transfer to a small pan and reduce until thick enough to coat the chicken.
• When the chicken has been cooking for 1 hr, tip some water into the bottom of the tin. Pour half the glaze over the chicken and continue to roast for 45 mins more, covering with foil if it starts to brown too quickly. When cooked, leave to the side to rest.
• Pour the juices from the roasting tray, discarding the fat, into the rest of the glaze and pour into a small pan. Simmer over a low heat and taste, adding more sugar or fish sauce if it needs it. Serve the chicken with the cucumber, spring onions and coriander around it and the gravy on the side.

MEXICAN LIME CHICKEN

Steps:

• Mix 2 tbsp olive oil with 1 tsp each crushed coriander seeds and grated lime zest and 1⁄2 tsp each paprika and light muscovado sugar.
• Put 2 chicken breasts in a baking dish, spoon the marinade over, then squeeze over a little lime juice. Cover and marinate for 30 minutes.
• Slip 1-2 lime slices under the skin of each breast and season. Tuck 6 unpeeled garlic cloves and 2 fresh red chillies around the chicken.
• Roast the chicken breasts in a baking dish, uncovered, for 30-35 minutes in a preheated oven (190C/gas 5/fan oven 170C). To check if they are done, prod the chicken with your finger - if it's still a bit soft, give it a bit longer.
• Serve with salad and salsa.

LIME & CORIANDER CHICKEN

Steps:

• First, spatchcock the chicken so that it will sit flat on the barbecue. All this means is using a pair of kitchen scissors or a sharp kitchen knife to cut down either side of the parson's nose to completely remove the backbone. Then, place the chicken, breast side up, on a chopping board and push down hard to flatten with your hands. Use a sharp knife to make lots of deep slashes in the chicken, about three in each breast and two in each leg.
• In a mortar and pestle, crush the garlic and peppercorns together to a grey, mushy paste. Stir the lime juice into the paste, then the chopped coriander. Put the chicken in a dish and massage the marinade into the chicken. Cover with cling film and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, but preferably overnight.
• To cook the chicken, fire up the barbecue. When the flames die down and the coals are hot and glowing, lay the chicken on the barbecue, skin side up, and sprinkle with salt. You will be tempted to keep prodding it and lifting it up, but leave it alone. After 25 mins, the chicken will look like it's cooked through, but flip it over and give the skin side 10 mins to brown. Lift the chicken onto a chopping board and leave to rest for a few minutes.
• You can now carve conventionally but I like to get a cleaver and chop it straight down into thick slices. Pile it up on a platter and serve scattered with fresh coriander and lime wedges.

SPICED COCONUT CHICKEN WITH CORIANDER & LIME

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat the oil in a 30cm shallow casserole dish or high-sided frying pan. Fry the chicken thighs, skin-side down, just to get some colour on them (they will take on a deeper colour in the oven). Transfer them to another dish. Fry the onion in the pan until soft and pale gold. Add the garlic, spices and chillies. Cook for 2 mins more, then stir in the squash, cauliflower, rice, half the coriander, the lime zest, half the lime juice, the lime leaves and some seasoning. Put the chicken back in the pan, this time skin-side up, and season that as well.
• Heat the coconut milk and the chicken stock together until just below boiling point. Pour this around the chicken and put the pan in the oven, uncovered. Cook for 40 mins, or until the chicken is cooked through and the liquid has been absorbed by the rice. Squeeze over the remaining lime and scatter with the rest of the coriander. You could gently push the coriander into the rice, so it's not all on top. Serve immediately.

THAI-SPICED CORIANDER CHICKEN

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife, cut 3 deep slashes into the skinned side of each chicken breast. Place the breast in a single layer in a wide, non-metallic dish.
• Put the garlic, chilli, ginger, coriander, lime rind and juice, soy sauce, caster sugar and coconut cream in a food processor and process until a smooth puree forms.
• Spread the puree over both sides of the chicken breasts, coating them evenly. Cover the dish and leave to marinate in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.
• Lift the chicken from the marinade, put into a baking dish. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 30 minutes until thoroughly and evenly cooked.
• Meanwhile, place the remaining marinade in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Lower the heat and simmer for several minutes to heat thoroughly. Pour sauce over the chicken breasts, accompanied with rice and vegetables.

BROILED BREADED CHICKEN WITH CORIANDER LIME PESTO

Steps:

• To make the chicken:
• In a shallow baking dish whisk together milk, egg, oil, and salt and pepper to taste. In another shallow baking dish stir together bread crumbs, cumin, paprika, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Set rack about 6 inches from heat and preheat broiler.
• Dip chicken breasts, 1 at a time, in milk mixture, letting excess drip off, and coat with bread crumb mixture, patting to adhere. Transfer chicken as coated to rack of a foil-lined broiler pan. Broil chicken until cooked through, about 7 minutes on each side.
• In a small bowl whisk together pesto, yogurt, lime juice, and 1 tablespoon hot water, adding additional hot water if necessary to reach desired consistency. Season pesto with salt and pepper and serve over chicken.
• To make the pesto:
• In a food processor blend together all ingredients with salt and pepper to taste until smooth. (Pesto keeps, surface covered with plastic wrap, chilled, 1 week.) Makes about 2/3 cup.

SPRING CHICKEN WITH LIME AND CORIANDER

Steps:

• To make the broth, put the chicken in a stockpot. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 30 to 35 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the coriander pesto: Put the coriander, mint, basil and olive oil in a blender and puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles. Cook for 2 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold running water. Set aside.
• Carefully lift the chicken out of the broth. Set broth aside. Remove skin and shred the meat. Set aside. Strain the broth through a sieve lined with cheesecloth into a clean saucepan. Season to taste.
• Bring broth to a boil. Add the shredded chicken, leek, carrot and celery. Lower heat and simmer until the meat is warmed, about 5 minutes. Divide noodles into four bowls. Ladle the soup into the bowls. Add a dollop of pesto, garnish with coriander and mint leaves, and place a wedge of lime on each.
