Chicken Marinade

Method

Marinating the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine minced garlic, cumin powder, paprika, turmeric powder, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.

Grilling the Chicken

  1. 3

    Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any excess marinade. Place the chicken pieces on the grill, cooking for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Preparing the Grilled Vegetables

  1. 5

    Prepare the Vegetables

    In a separate bowl, toss the sliced bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 6

    Grill the Vegetables

    Place the vegetables on the grill alongside the chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and slightly charred.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve the Dish

    Once the chicken and vegetables are grilled, remove them from the grill. Garnish the chicken with chopped fresh cilantro and serve warm with the grilled vegetables on the side.
