Get Up In My Grill

Since it's cold and rainy today, let's talk about grilling. Here are two of my current favorite poultry recipes. Unfortunately, I have them written on recipe cards and don't know who to credit them to. I googled the recipes, but didn't find a source.

Grilled Spice-Rubbed Chicken with Lemon and Garlic Oil

This is one of my favorites, such a flavorful combination of ingredients. B is not too fond of it, since he doesn't like fennel or cilantro, but too bad, we make it anyway, cuz momma loves it.

Mix:
1 1/2 t fennel seeds
1 1/2 t ground coriander
3/4 t dry mustard
3/4 t salt
1/4 t cinnamon
1/4 t ground red pepper

Rinse 4 chicken breast halves. Pat dry and then rub spice mixture all over. Grill chicken.

Mix and spoon over chicken:
1/4 C olive oil
1/4 C minced fresh cilantro or parsley
3 T lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 t salt


Curry and Honey Turkey Breast Cutlets with Chutney Raita

Everyone likes this dish. We make it with chicken too.

4 turkey breast cutlets (~ 1 1/2 lbs.)
1 1/2 T curry powder
1 T honey
1 T vegetable oil
1/2 t salt
1/4 C mango chutney
1/2 C plain yogurt
1 T lemon juice

Preheat grill. Stir together curry, honey, oil, and salt and smear over both sides of cutlets. Grill cutlets ~ 8-10 min.

For raita, stir together chutney, yogurt, and lemon juice. Spoon over grilled cutlets.
