INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
100 grams Okra
1 medium Tomato
1/4 medium Red Onion
1 small Red Chili
1.5 tablespoons Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Begin by preparing the peri-peri marinade: in a small bowl, mix half of the olive oil with a generous squeeze of lemon juice, salt, pepper, paprika, and a pinch of crushed red chili flakes. Coat the chicken breast evenly with this marinade and let it rest for at least 15 minutes.
Preheat your grill to a medium-high heat. While waiting, trim the okra and rinse well.
Grill the marinated chicken breast for about 5-6 minutes on each side until fully cooked and a nice char forms. Once done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
In a small saucepan, lightly steam the okra over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes until tender but still crisp.
For the tomato relish, dice the tomato, finely chop the red onion and red chili. In a small bowl, combine these with the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Plate the grilled chicken breast alongside the steamed okra and top with a generous spoonful of the zesty tomato relish. Serve warm and enjoy!
