Saute for about 2 minutes or until softened, then add the garam masala and paprika, cooking until fragrant. Add the whole tomatoes to the pan crushing them into the pan and add the juice from the can. Squeeze the juice from the lemons into the pan and add the spent sections. Stir.

Grilled Moroccan Chicken Breast Recipe Low Carb Yum

WEBAug 12, 2020 · Chop the onion with a mandolin slicer or very sharp knife into thin slices. Heat 2 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. …

1. If desired, chop the onion using a mandolin slicer and toss it in a hot pan with a couple of table spoons of oil and a dash of salt. Leave it to sweat on a small to medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes until the onion starts turning translucent and then toss in the chopped garlic for another minute or so.
2. In a big bowl, add the cumin, coriander, cinnamon, the onion and garlic, the salt, the turmeric, paprika, chopped cilantro and mint, squeeze the juice from the lemon and perhaps add a cup of chicken stock, water, or, if you are feeling adventurous, yogurt and mix everything thoroughly.
3. Once you have your marinade, you can add the chicken breast either whole or cut into strips using a well sharpened knife and leave to marinate anywhere between 2 and 4 hours.
4. Let as much of the marinate drip off the chicken, lightly pat it down, and throw it on a hot grill, ideally charcoal, but a grill pan is almost as good.
