- for the marinade:
- 1 tsp cumin
- 2 tsp coriander powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 chilli, chopped
- 25 g brown sugar
- 2 tsp turmeric powder
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp crushed peanuts
- 150 ml coconut milk
- 1/2 tsp salt
- for the salad:
- 150 g green beans, cut into thin sticks
- 100 g cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 1 chilli, chopped
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 3 tbsp fish sauce
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- A few leaves of coriander and basil
- 1 small saucepan
- 1 grill pan
- tongs
- 1 spoon
- 2 bowls
- 1 cutting board
- 1 saucepan
- 1 bowl of iced water
- 1 slotted spoon
Step 2: Make the marinade
To a small saucepan, add the cumin, coriander, black pepper, chilli, brown sugar, turmeric, soy sauce, peanuts, coconut milk and salt. Heat, mixing occasionally so that the flavours combine well. Remove it from the heat and let it cool.
Step 3: Blanch the beans
Fill the larger saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Season it with a little salt, add the beans let the water come back to a boil and leave them for 1 minute. Transfer them directly to the ice water. This stops the cooking process and preserves their colour. Leave them in the water for a minute, drain, and set aside.
Step 4: Marinate the chicken
Once the marinade has cooled, place the chicken breasts into the bowl and pour the marinade on top. Mix well and leave to marinate for at least one hour.
Step 5: VIDEOJUG TIP
As with all marinated dishes, the longer you allow the meat to marinate, the better the flavour will be.
Step 6: Make the dressing
Into a bowl, add the sliced chilli, lemon juice, brown sugar, fish sauce and olive oil. Mix until the sugar dissolves and set aside.
Step 7: Grill the chicken
Place the grill pan on a high heat. When very hot, add the chicken, two pieces at a time. Cook for about 1.5 minutes, depending on their thickness. Next, turn the chicken and cook the other side for another 1.5 minutes. Remove from the heat and repeat with the remaining meat.
Step 8: Finish the salad
Add the tomatoes to the beans, pour the sauce over top and mix it well, making sure everything is coated.
Step 9: Assemble and serve
Place the chicken breasts on a serving plate, put some of the tomato and beans on top and top with a few fresh herbs. Drizzle a little of the salad dressing over top and on the plate and serve.
