Share:
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken breast sliced into long thin tenders
- ¼ cup cilantro chopped or freeze dried flakes
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- lemon juice of 1
- 2 tablespoons Ajika seasoning use store-bought, or make your own:
- 1 tbsp. ground coriander
- 1 tbsp. Aleppo pepper
- 1 tbsp. sea salt plus 1½ tsp fine
- 1 ½ tsp. marigold petals optional, ground, dried
- 1 ½ tsp. fenugreek preferably Georgian blue fenugreek, ground
- ½ tsp. smoked Spanish paprika pimentón
- 6 garlic peeled, medium cloves
- 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper
- cilantro to garnish, finely chopped
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together the Ajika paste, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. This will be your marinade.
- Place the chicken breasts in a dish or a sealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate.
- Let the chicken marinate for at least 20 minutes, or up to overnight for more flavor.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you're using a grill pan, you can heat it over medium-high heat on the stovetop.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the leftover marinade.
- Place the chicken on the grill or grill pan. Cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts.
- Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, keeping it juicy and flavorful.
- Garnish with fresh herbs and serve with your choice of sides. Enjoy your Ajika Georgian Grilled Chicken!
