I did this during a gathering at my place and my friend, Rebecca, liked it. I tried it again, wanting to pair it with vegetable. The asparagus was good but I didn't quite like it with tomato but my hubby said it okay for him. Perhaps if I used cherry tomatoes in a bunch, it might be better. As I find it too wet using cut tomato.
I did it using orange rind and orange juice too and it was good too but personally I preferred the lemon version. I did a fish dish using orange rind and juice and it tasted better for that dish and my daughter finished one half of the fish. More of that in later post.
Ingredients:
- 2 Chicken Drumstick or Breast, deboned
- 20 stalks (Thai) Asparagus
- 2 thick slice Tomato (I would suggest using whole cherry tomatoes instead)
- 1/2 teaspoon Dried Thyme
- 2 teaspoon Dried Rosemary
- 1/2 (of a whole) Lemon Rind
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- Mix Marinade.
- Add chicken to marinade and set aside for at least 1/2 hour.
- Heat grill pan.
- Grill chicken skin down first, till brown.
- Turn over and continue to grill the other side of the chicken.
- At the same time, grill the vegetables using some of the sauce from the grilling of the chicken.
- If you are using cherry tomatoes, grill till the tomatoes 'burst' to THIS effect.
- Dish and set aside the vegetables when they are done.
- When chicken is completely cooked, dish and serve with vegetables.

Joanne,
Yah, the kitcken smells nice after that too. ;)
The last ingredient 1/2 tsp salt is a repetition. Should there be something else inside?
ReplyDeleteNoshie,
ReplyDelete:P It's a repetition. Thanks for pointing out. :)
Oops logged in to my husband's(noshie) account by accident. It's actually me (cindy). Have been checking out your blog the last couple of days. Anyway I tried this tonite and it was not bad. Instead of asparagus, I ate it with oven grilled onions and corn on the cob and it goes together very nicely. I used chic breast and so was a lil dry but still, I like the marinade v. much. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi wokking mum,
ReplyDeleteWould like to try out this weekend for my hubby. But where can I get the Rosemary and Thyme? I'm still quite new in cooking. ;)
Blessed couples,
ReplyDeleteYou can get the dried ones in bottle form from NTUC or other supermarket. Usually found in the spice rack.
Happy Cooking!
