Chicken
Marinade:
Peruvian Green Sauce
Avocado Cucumber Tomato Salad
Directions
Preheat grill to medium-high
- Make the marinade in a small bowl. Using a garlic press, finely mince the garlic and place it in the bowl. Add oil, lime juice, honey, cumin, paprika, coriander, oregano and salt and optional soy sauce. Toss with the chicken, coating all sides well. Marinate while the grill heats up or overnight for more flavour
- Make Peruvian Green Sauce by placing all the ingredients in a blender and blending until relatively smooth
- When the grill is hot, grill the chicken, searing both sides well (using a metal spatula to flip) then turn the heat down or move to a cooler side of the grill to allow the chicken to cook through
- Make the salad by placing the diced cucumber in a wide shallow bowl. Add avocado, spacing it out evenly. Add a few cherry tomato halves. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper and drizzle lightly with olive oil. Squeeze with lime juice. Garnish with cilantro leaves
- Serve with the Cilantro Lime rice. If making bowls, place ¾ cup rice on the bottom of the bowl, add sliced chicken to one side, avocado salad on the other side and drizzle with the cilantro sauce
