Inspired by Colombian grilling culture, this recipe coats thinly pounded chicken breast in quinoa and cooks it quickly on a grill. The whole-grain crust and low-fat cooking method make a low-calorie dish for a picnic basket.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the chicken

5 min

Place the chicken breasts between sheets of plastic wrap and pound to 1 cm thick. Rub with lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.

2

Coat the chicken

3 min

Dip the chicken in egg white, then press it into the cooked quinoa to coat both sides.

3

Grill the chicken

7 min

Brush the grill with olive oil and cook the chicken over high heat for 3–4 minutes per side, until thoroughly cooked.

Reminder

Do not put the chicken on the grill without pounding it thin; thick pieces will not cook through before the outside burns. Contains egg.

Tavuğu dövmeden doğrudan ızgaraya attım, kalın kaldığı için dışı yanarken içi çiğ kaldı. Kinoa kabuğu da eşit yapışmadı, tarifte 1 santime kadar dövün diye yazan uyarıyı ciddiye almalıymışım.

Haklısınız, 1 santim kalınlık hem eşit pişme hem de kabuğun düzgün yapışması için önemli. Streç film arasında dövünce hem et parçalanmıyor hem de kalınlık kontrol edilebiliyor.
