SOUTHWESTERN LIME CHICKEN WITH ANCHO CHILI SAUCE

Steps:

• For the Chicken: Combine first 9 ingredients in medium bowl; whisk to blend. Place chicken in 13 x 9 x 2-inch glass baking dish. Pour marinade over. Cover and refrigerate overnight, turning occasionally.

Place 1 cheese slice atop each chicken breast half; cover barbecue and cook until cheese melts, about 2 minutes. Transfer chicken breasts to plates. Serve with Ancho Chili Sauce.
• Make the Sauce: Place chilies in medium metal bowl. Pour enough boiling water over chilies to cover. Let stand until chilies are soft, about 30 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup soaking liquid.
• Puree chilies, 3 tablespoons soaking liquid and lime juice in blender until smooth. Transfer to small bowl. Whisk in mayonnaise, brown sugar, oregano, rosemary and cumin. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 3 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before using, adding water by tablespoonfuls and stirring if very thick.).

ANCHO-LIME MARINATED BBQ CHICKEN

Steps:

• Cut the chickens into legs, thighs, breasts, and wings and place in a large pan. Whisk together the remaining ingredients in a small bowl and pour over the chicken. Cover the chicken and refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat the grill. Place the chicken pieces on the grill at a 45 degree angle to establish good grill marks. Once the chicken easily releases from the grill, turn it over to continue cooking. Make sure to season the chicken with salt while it's cooking. Once the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, or its juices run clear, remove the chicken from the grill. Let the chicken rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

CHICKEN WITH CHILLI LIME SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the chicken breasts between cling-film and beat out to an even thickness. On the skin side, using a sharp knife, lightly score a criss-cross. Place the chicken in a dish and pour soy sauce over the chicken. Turn to coat all over. Set aside for 20 minutes.
• Put the fish sauce and Lime Cordial into a bowl. Remove the seeds from the chilli and chop finely. Add the chilli to the bowl and mix together with chopped spring onions, soy sauce and sesame oil. Just before serving, stir in the coriander.
• To cook the chicken, heat a griddle pan. When it is almost smoking hot, lift the chicken from the pan, drain the excess soy sauce, and then lightly spray the chicken with oil. Place the chicken in the pan to cook over a medium high heat for 3 minutes until it lifts easily from the pan and is marked from the griddle. Turn at an angle and cook another 2-3 minutes until marked.
• Turn the chicken breasts over and cook for 3-4 minutes (depending on the thickness of the chicken) until cooked through. Transfer chicken to a plate and spoon over the sauce.
• Serve with some stir-fried vegetables and boiled rice.
