Ingredients

Before we begin, ensure you have the following ingredients ready:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• ½ teaspoon red chili powder
• Salt to taste
• Fresh cilantro leaves (for garnish)

Step-by-Step Guide to Cook

Step 2: Marinate the Chicken. Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, ginger-garlic paste, cumin powder, coriander powder, paprika, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt in a bowl.

Mix well to form a thick marinade. Coat the chicken breasts with the marinade, ensuring they are evenly covered. Allow the chicken to marinate for 30 minutes or maximum flavor, and refrigerate it overnight.

Step 3: Cook the Chicken. Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.

Place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill and cook for approximately 6-8 minutes per side or until they are fully cooked and have beautiful grill marks.

Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) for safe consumption. Remove from heat and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Here’s how you can store and reheat the Chicken Zalzala to retain its flavor and tenderness:

1. Storage: Once the chicken has cooled down, refrigerate it in an airtight container. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
2. Reheating: When you’re ready to enjoy the leftovers, you have a couple of options:

• Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the chicken on a baking sheet and reheat for 10-15 minutes until warmed.
• Microwave: Transfer the chicken to a microwave-safe dish and cover it loosely with a damp paper towel. Heat on medium power for 1-2 minutes, checking and stirring in between, until heated evenly.

Serving Suggestions

Here are a few serving suggestions to tantalize your taste buds:

• Rice Pilaf: Serve the Chicken Zalzala on a aromatic basmati rice pilaf bed. The flavors will meld beautifully, creating a harmonious blend.
• Naan Bread: Warm up some naan bread to accompany your Chicken Zalzala. Tear off a piece, scoop up the chicken and marinade, and savor the explosion of flavors in each bite.
