INGREDIENTS
1 piece Chicken Thigh (170g)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
2 tablespoons Peri-Peri Sauce
1 clove Garlic, minced
Salt & Pepper to taste
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, peri-peri sauce, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Place the chicken thigh in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Ensure the chicken is evenly coated, then let it marinate for at least 20 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor).
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the chicken thigh on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the exterior has a nice char.
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the quinoa according to package directions if not already cooked. A 1/2 cup serving of cooked quinoa is perfect for pairing with this dish.
Once cooked, plate the grilled chicken thigh alongside the quinoa. Optionally, garnish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or chopped herbs for an added burst of flavor.
Serve hot and enjoy the spicy, tangy flavors of this perfectly balanced meal.
