The trick lies in the marinate and its flavouring. The pepper corns must be crushed coarsely so that they have a bite to them. The Worcester sauce is full of flavor while the lemon juice and salt act as tenderizers.

It is best to marinate the chicken for a minimum of 1 hour though I would suggest that you do it overnight. This will ensure that the grilled chicken breast cook perfectly.

Mixed Herbs & Pepper Grilled Chicken                     Serves 2

Ingredients:

Chicken breasts – 2 large

Olive oil or Butter – for cooking

For the marinate

Onion juice – 2 tblsp

Garlic paste – 1 tsp

Lemon juice or concentrate – 1 ½ tblsp

Worcester sauce – 2 tsp

Crushed pepper corns – as per taste

Mixed herbs(dried) – 1 tsp

Honey – 1 tblsp

Salt – to taste

Method:

1.    Wash and clean the chicken breasts. In a large bowl, add in the chicken pieces and the marinate ingredients. Mix well and coat the chicken pieces with it.

2.    Cover the bowl and let it rest in the fridge for at least 1 hour. Best done overnight.

3.    Heat up a grill pan. Brush it with olive oil or butter or a combination of both. Place the marinated chicken pieces with the better side facing down.

4.    Cook on a medium heat for 5 mins. Do not attempt to move the chicken piece before that. After 2 mins into the cooking time, drizzle some olive oil on top of the breast pieces.

5.    After 5 mins, flip them over and cook this side for about 5 mins too. Drizzle olive oil and the marinate juice over them.

6.    Check by inserting a skewer or a toothpick. It should feel moist inside. Turn off the heat and cover the pan with a foil or lid. Let it rest for 5 to 7 mins before serving.

7.    Serve the grilled chicken with some flavoured rice or mashed potato or bread and some salad on the side.

Serve it for a meal along with rice, potatoes or bread. Make a salad or a sandwich with it. Have it your way.
