Ingredients needed
This recipe is so simple and requires a few spices to make the delicious marinade. However, if you don’t have all the spices mentioned on hand, using a good quality Garam Masala or similar spice mix will be a good substitute.
Boneless skinless Chicken breasts. Skinless boneless thighs can also be used. Oil. I used canola oil but olive oil, avocado or grapeseed oil can also be used. Lemon juice. Lime juice can be substituted. Spices: Garam Masala, turmeric, paprika, chilli flakes/red pepper flakes, cardamom, garlic powder. Salt and black pepper. Curry leaves (optional).
How to grill chicken breast
How long to grill chicken breast
Depending on the thickness, chicken breasts should take no longer than 8 minutes to cook on a hot grill. Flattening the chicken allows it to cook evenly and much quicker. Chicken breasts are done when the internal temperature reads 70ºC/160ºF on an meat thermometer, or when the chicken is white throughout. Remember the chicken will continue cooking while it rests.
What to serve with grilled chicken breast
I served the chicken with roti, yogurt and fresh coriander/cilantro leaves for everyone to make their own wraps but you could serve it with a simple salad, steamed rice or crispy potatoes too.
