GRILLED CHICKEN AND PEPPERS WITH MINT AND CORIANDER DIP

GRILLED CHICKEN AND PEPPERS WITH MINT AND CORIANDER DIP


I'm on a weight loss diet and have started making suitable recipes for this.... I tried chicken grill for the first time and it came out so well that i decided to post it right away.... I have so many recipes to be posted but just couldn't resist posting this right away. Will have to update my other recipes as well one of these days......

I love red and yellow peppers, they have a slightly sour and sweet taste and is very good when it is just stir fried or grilled (like i did today). Stir fry not to exceed maximum of 4 minutes... overcooked peppers don't taste so good...I sprinkle pepper and salt slightly to this and i can guarantee you will love the yumminess to the last bite.





Ingredients:

300 gms chicken breasts (2 pieces)
3 tbsp curds
1 tsp chilli powder
1 tsp ginger garlic paste
1/4 tsp cumin powder
1/2 coriander powder
a pinch of turmeric
salt to taste
1 tsp oil for grilling
Yellow and red pepper cubes

1. Marinate the chicken with all the above ingredients (except oil) and keep it in the refrigerator for a minimum of 1/2 an hour to maximum of 24 hours.
2. Grill this (i used my sandwich grill) brushing a little oil on both sides. Let it cook on both sides for 4 minutes (Chicken breasts cook fast).
3. Arrange the pepper cubes on the grill simultaneously. When serving, sprinkle little salt and pepper on the peppers.

 Voila! Healthy chicken breasts with peppers ready to serve. My daughter too loved this and i was surprised and her not making a fuss to eat the peppers, which she usually does not eat....
