Zeldas Marinated Chicken Food

MARINATED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Butterfly the chicken breasts using a sharp knife, then lightly pound to an even thickness.
• In a large glass bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, fish sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, canola oil, chile-garlic paste, scallion whites, sesame oil and ginger until combined. Add the chicken and turn to coat in the marinade. Cover and let marinade in the refrigerator for at least 2 or up to 4 hours.
• Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat until hot.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and transfer to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet. Use paper towels to dab off some of the marinade.
• Brush the grill with canola oil, then grill the chicken until fully cooked, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a platter and garnish with the scallion greens and sesame seeds. Serve.

MARINATED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Put the vinegar, herbs, mustard, powders if using and oil in a large re-sealable plastic bag. Close the bag and shake to combine all the ingredients. Open the bag, drop in the chicken breast in the bag. Close and shake the bag to coat evenly. Freeze for up to 2 weeks.
• Thaw in the refrigerator overnight, under cold, running water, or in the microwave at 30 percent power for 1 minute at a time.
• Heat a grill or grill pan. When the grill is hot, place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 4 minutes per side, or until cooked through. You can also bake the thawed chicken in a 375 degree F oven for 15 minutes, or until cooked through.

ZELDA'S MARINATED CHICKEN

Steps:

• 1. Juice the orange and lemon, then finely grate the rinds. Place the citrus juice and zest in a baking dish. Whisk in the tomato puree, honey, vinegar, and oregano. Add salt and pepper as desired.
• 2. Using a sharp knife, score the chicken. Add the chicken to the marinade and turn to coat well. Cover with plastic wrap. Marinate at room temp. for at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• 3. Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet lined with foil, reserving the marinade. Bake for 15 minutes, basting with the marinade 2-3 times. Continue baking until juices run clear when the chicken is pierced with a knife, about 15 minutes longer. Keep warm. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan. Slice the tomatoes in half, toss with Italian seasoning and add to the pot. Saute until softened, about 3 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Arrange the tomatoes around the chicken. Garnish with parsley to serve.
