You know what’s really underrated? Marinating food, and marinating chicken especially. It takes only slightly more planning than usual and little extra work, but the payback for your tastebuds is massive. After your chicken’s spent a day sitting in fridge absorbing the myriad flavours of your marinade, it’s basically impossible to cook it in a way that isn’t delicious. Also when you whip out your marinated chicken at a dinner party in a manner reminiscent of a perfectly prepared Blue Peter presenter (try and say that five times quickly), people are going to be absolutely wowed.
Convinced? Of course you are, so plan on making this recipe from Fresh Fitness Food, a food delivery service that sends you pre-made meals and snacks designed to help you hit your fitness goals – whether that’s lose weight, become leaner, bulk up, or anything else.
The zingy, zesty marinade in this recipe adds oodles of flavour to the chicken, which you can barbecue or cook in the oven depending on how the British summer turns out. Once you’ve made the chicken we recommend pairing it with some fresh vegetables and brown rice or, even better, using it in this Mexican jumble recipe in place of the poached and shredded chicken.
For the marinade: - ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil - ½ cup coriander leaves - 1tsp lime zest - ¼ cup lime juice - ¾tsp oregano - 1tsp cumin powder - 1½tbsp fresh mint leaves - 4 garlic cloves - 1tsp salt - ½tsp black pepper
