From Your Shopping List
- 3 cloves of garlic, peeled and minced
- 1 tsp chilli powder, or 1 tsp hot sauce, plus a little extra for the salsa
- Juice of 1 lime or lemon
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1 medium red onion, finely chopped
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled
- 2 tomatoes, chopped into small pieces
Household Staples
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- Salt and black pepper
Method
- In a small bowl, make the marinade by mixing together two thirds of the garlic, 1 tsp chilli powder (or hot sauce), two thirds of the lime/lemon juice, 1 tbsp vegetable oil and some black pepper.
- Halve each chicken breast by placing the meat on a chopping board and, with your hand flat on top, use a sharp knife to slice into the breast, and cut it into two so that you have four slimmer pieces which are easier to cook.
- Put the chicken into a ziplock bag, add the marinade, mix well into the chicken so that it is fully coated, and leave to marinade for 20 minutes or longer.
- To make the salsa, mix the chopped red onion and remaining garlic with the remaining lime/lemon juice, a little bit of chilli powder or hot sauce and a pinch of salt.
- Oil a disposable tinfoil tray with 1 tbsp oil, cut the potatoes into rounds about 1cm thick, and put on the tray. Sprinkle over a pinch of salt.
- Preheat the BBQ for a medium heat, and lightly oil the grill.
- Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade and discard the used marinade.
- Put the tinfoil tray and the pieces of chicken on the BBQ for 8-10 minutes, turning both halfway through.
- Add the chopped tomato to the salsa mixture, and serve with the chicken and potatoes
OR
If BBQ is not an option, the chicken can be cooked on a tray with the potatoes in an oven heated to 250C for 20 minutes.
Serving Suggestion: Serve with sweetcorn or chopped avocado.
