Organic Thai Grilled Chicken

Submitted by: Sarah Sprosen

Serves: 4, Bristol

Ingredients

150g creme fraiche
3-4 chopped cloves of garlic
2-3 fresh green chillis
1-2 tsp ground ginger
3 tbsp light soy sauce
2 limes
2 tbsp castor sugar
1 pack fresh coriander
4 boneless chicken breasts

Method

In a food processor put the zest of 1 lime and juice of both along with all other ingredients EXCEPT the chicken breasts.
Make the diagonal slashes across the chicken breasts. Pour half of the mixture into a shallow dish (not metallic) and place the chicken on top. Pour the rest of it all over top of the chicken. Leave for at least half an hour but preferably for about 3 hours. Turn occasionally.
Preheat the grill to medium. Place a piece of foil on top of the grill pan and turn up the corners to make a tray. Place the chicken breast on the foil spooning over the marinade. Grill for 10-15 minutes turning and basting occasionally. Make sure that the last of the grilling time is on the skin side of the chicken.
Gently heat the rest of the marinade through and simmer for 2 minutes.
Serve with Thai Fragrant Rice or couscous.
