Yield 2 people

Number Of Ingredients 19

For Marinating the Chicken:
4 boned, skinned chicken breast halves (about 1-1/4 pounds)
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon homemade garam masala (recipe follows)
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground roasted cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed to a pulp
1/2 teaspoon peeled, finely grated fresh ginger
For Sprinkling Over the Chicken:
Salt as needed
Freshly ground black pepper
A little homemade garam masala
A little ground roasted cumin seed
A little cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon dried mint flakes
Generous squeezes of fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to its highest temperature and arrange a shelf in the top third of the oven. 2. Cut 3 diagonal slits across the top of each piece of chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through and also not to go to the edge. Prick the chicken pieces with the sharp point of a small knife. Put them in a single layer in a large baking dish and rub both sides with the salt and lemon juice. Leave for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the cream with the garam masala, cayenne, cumin seeds, paprika, garlic, and ginger in a bowl. Stir this mixture well and pour it over the chicken. Rub it into the meat and leave for 10 minutes. 3. Lift the chicken pieces up (most of the marinade will cling to them) and place them down in a single layer in a shallow baking pan lined with aluminum foil. On top of each, sprinkle a little salt, black pepper, garam masala, ground roasted cumin seed, cayenne, dried mint, and lemon juice. Put into the top third of the oven and bake for 15 minutes or until the chicken is just white all the way through. Serve immediately, minted side up.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would have preferred to use less chili peppers.

I used skinless, boneless chicken breasts and the chicken still came out a bit dry. I think I would have preferred to use thighs.

The chicken was a bit dry and the sauce was a bit bland. I think I would have preferred to use a different recipe.

I substituted chicken thighs for the chicken breasts and it was still delicious. The sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, so I added a little bit of lemon juice to balance it out.
