Chicken Piri-Piri (Phase 1)
Description
This deliciously spicy chicken dish has both Portuguese and African origins. We’ve taken a touch of the heat out by removing the jalapeño seeds from the chili marinade, but you can amp it up by leaving them in — if you dare!
Serves 4
Prep time: 20 minutes (includes marinating)
Cook time: 10 minutes
Ingredients
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 (6-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Instructions
Heat grill or grill pan to high.
Whisk together oil, vinegar, jalapeño, garlic, red-pepper flakes, and salt in a small bowl. Place chicken in a shallow dish. Add 3 tablespoons of the marinade and turn to coat. Let stand at room temperature 10 minutes.
Grill chicken, turning often, until juices run clear, about 10 minutes. Drizzle with remaining sauce (do not use any of the leftover marinade) and serve.
