I came up with this new idea for chicken because I had some limes lying around in my kitchen (left over from Mohito making ;)). The outcome surpassed my expectations.
You'll need:
1 chicken breast
3 limes
fresh coriander
1 chili pepper
oil
salt and pepper
Cut the chicken breast into smaller pieces. Put them in a bowl. Finely chop the coriander and chili, add to the bowl. Splash one lime with boiled water, before zesting. Add the zest to the bowl. Squeeze 2 1/2 limes into the bowl.
TRICK: before cutting the limes into halves, 'massage' them by rolling them on the table. This way more juice will come out.
Add some oil and mix everything in the bowl. Leave it in the fridge for 24h (a few hours should be enough, but the longer you leave it to marinate the richer the taste will be).
Add some salt and pepper and transer the contents into a hot frying pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes. Cut the remaining lime half into slices and grill fry. Grill fried limes (or lemons) are surprisingly good. Serve with rice.
You should enough 'sauce' from the marinade to go with rice, but if not you can prepare some extra sauce:
You'll need:
juice from 1 lime,
4 spoons of olive oil
chili powder
finely chopped coriander
Mix it all together, et voilà!
Bon appétit!
