Ingredients
- 4 chicken steaks total weight 600-650 grams approximately
- 0.5 tsp baking powder
- 3 tbsp cottage cheese plain yoghurt also works
- 1.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt to taste
- 1 tsp chilli flakes
- 1.5 tsp smoked paprika
- 1.5 tsp oregano
- 1.5 tsp cumin powder
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp extra virgin oil olive oil will also work fine
- fresh coriander, finely chopped for garnish optional
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
- If the breasts are thick, slice them horizontally to create thinner steaks for even cooking. I ask my butcher to do this for me.
- Season the Chicken
- In food processor, add all the remaining ingredients and blitz into a paste.
- Rub the marinade evenly over both sides of the chicken and leave it to marinate at least two hours.
Cook the Chicken
- Heat olive oil in a large frying pan or griddle over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken steaks and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
- You could also grill, or air fry the chicken steaks.
Rest and Serve
- Remove the chicken from the frying pan and let it rest for 3-4 minutes to lock in the juices.
- Garnish with fresh coriander and serve hot.
