Lime Chicken With Mint And Chilli



 

Nice chicken recipe from the book Everyday chicken. Combines sweet and fresh flavours of lime and mint, I added just an extra half of red chilli pepper and it worked really well. Will definitely cook this more often, it's so quick and easy!


Ingredients (serves 6)
3 tbsp finely chopped fresh mint 4 tbsp honey
4 tbsp lime juice
salt and pepper
12 chicken thighs
mixed salad, to serve

sauce
150ml low-fat natural yoghurt
1 tbsp finely chopped fresh mint
2 tsp finely grated lime rind


Instructions

1. Mix the mint, honey and lime juice in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the marinade, cover them evenly.
2. Cover with cling film and marinade for at least 30 minutes (the longer the better). 
3. Preheat the grill to medium. Place the chicken on a grill rack and cook under the hot grill for 15-18 minutes or until the chicken is tender. Turn the chicken frequently and bast with marinade.
4. Combine all the sauce ingredients in a bowl. Remove the cocktail sticks and serve the chicken with a mixed salad and the sauce, for dipping.
