Spice Rub Pan-Fried Chicken
Ingredients
- 500 gram skinless boneless chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 2-3 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon powder
- 3 cloves garlic, grated
- 1 inch ginger, grated
- 1/4 cup olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare chicken breasts: Pound chicken breasts to get an even 1/2 inch thickness. Alternatively, you can butterfly them to get an even thickness.
- Marinate: Mix chicken breasts with the rest of the ingredients in a bowl (or you can also use a ziplock bag). Marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight. Return to room temperature before proceeding with the cooking.
- Fry: Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat. Pan fry chicken breast for 3 minutes per side.
TIPS: Initially, the chicken breasts will stick to the pan. But once the surface is cooked and browned, the meat will self-release itself from the pan. So have patience and don’t try to move the chicken in its early stage. - Rest, cut, and serve: Let the cooked chicken breasts rest for 10 minutes before serving or cutting into thin strips.
