Charred Without A Grill!

Ingredients:

 

  • 500g breast of Chicken
  • 7-13 cloves of Garlic (paste)
  • 3 large Potatoes
  • 2 large Onions (finely chopped or juliene style)
  • 1 cup Arborio rice
  • 250g shredded Cheddar cheese
  • Italian mixed herbs & spices
  • Black-Pepper powder
  • Red Chili flakes
  • Salt
  • 200g Butter
  • Cooking oil
  • 1 pint of Cream or Milk
  • Chicken/Vegetable Stock
  • Cooking Red Wine (regular Red Wine would also do)
  • 100g Green Peas (boiled)
  • 100g Corn (boiled)

 

Although the focus of this post is on grilling chicken without a grill, I thought it best to add the recipe for the accompaniments as well. So, we've the chicken, then there's a side of mashed potatoes and yummy risotto cooked in red wine.

 Prep.:

Score the chicken breast and soak in red wine for least an hour. Once done with soaking, drain off excess wine and store aside for use later.


Create a rub-mixture of the red chili flakes, black-pepper, garlic paste, Italian mixed herbs and salt. Take the chicken and rub this mixture on, set aside for 15-20 minutes.

Boil the potatoes, peel and set aside.

Cooking:


In a vessel, melt butter and add to this: onions and garlic. Saute till they turn slightly golden in color, add the rice and saute for another 5 minutes on simmered heat.



Add the red wine, and let it absorb; now add the chicken/vegetable stock and let the rice cook.

 


Once the rice is cooked, add the corn, peas & cheese. Mix well, and risotto is ready!



Mash the potatoes in a bowl; add melted butter, black-pepper powder, salt and cream. Whisk well! There you have it, mashed potatoes.


Finally, take a pan and heat a hearty dollop of butter with 4 tablespoons of oil. Take the chicken breast, and sear on each side on high flame. Reduce heat and lid the pan. Cook the chicken for another 2 minutes on each side. And it's done!
