Instructions

  • Prepare the ingredients as instructed above.
  • Prepare rice according to the package directions. Once cooked, fluff with a fork and keep warm, covered.
  • In a bowl, mix garlic, coriander, cumin, cardamom, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and olive oil. Add chicken and toss to coat. Set aside to marinate.
  • Blend garlic, oil, salt, pepper, and lemon juice until smooth and fluffy. Set aside. (Optional: for less pungent garlic, boil it in water for 5 minutes then drain)
  • Heat a grill over medium heat. Grill the marinated chicken on both sides until grill-marked and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice.
