Felicity's Garlicky Grilled Chicken

Saw a recipe which i used as a guide. Used breasts instead of pieces, increased the garlic & poached the chicken in the marinade first as my meat was very thick. Finished by browning the chicken for a more appetising appearance. Yum! Great for garlic lovers. Prep time does not include marinating time, as that can vary, depending on the time you have.

Steps

Trim chicken as desired , cut a couple of diagonal slashes in each piece and set aside.

Add all other ingredients , except oil and butter to food processor and blend to a paste.

With motor running , drizzle in oil until the mixture is a pale green.

I used about cup , but this can vary to taste.

Cover the chicken with marinade and refrigerate for as long as possible , 3-24 hours.

Melt butter in pan and turn the heat down.

Place chicken breasts in pan with all the marinade and cover.

The meat i used was very thick , but if your chicken breasts are thinner it may be possible to skip this step and just fry or grill more quickly over a higher heat.

After about 10 minutes the steam has helped cooked through the chicken.

Remove lid , increase heat and brown chicken on both sides.

I served this with a side of steamed spinach and felicitys stuffed red peppers , also here on zaar.

I had some leftovers , cold for lunch , and they were delicious , the garlic flavour had intensified& t.
