Perfect to serve with a simple side salad.
SERVES: 4
TIME TO PLATE: 25 MINUTES (+ 1 HOUR TO MARINATE)
WHAT YOU NEED:
- 500 grams chicken tenderloins or Tofu
- 1 tbsp olive oil for frying
- For the marinade
- 5 tsps sweet paprika
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper or chilli powder
- 1 tsp coriander seed powder
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 3 tbsps olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, finely diced
- 2 limes (zest + juice from one lime for the marinade and juice from the second when serving)
HOW TO MAKE:
- Mix all marinade ingredients in a large bowl, add chicken tenderloins, or Tofu cut into 1cm strips cling wrap the bowl and set aside for at least one hour before grilling in the fridge.
- If using a grill plate or a frying pan on your stove, heat one teaspoon of olive oil and fry chicken pieces for 4 minutes on each side and then remove to a plate to rest. Make sure not to overcrowd the frying pan or you will end up with too much meat juice and you will end up with stewed rather than grilled chicken.
- If using a BBQ, heat the plate to sizzling hot and either spray with olive oil. Place chicken pieces on the plate with a little space in between and cook for 4 minutes on each side on medium/high heat with the lid on.
- Remove cooked chicken to a serving plate and drizzle with lime juice before serving.
