Easy recipe: Spicy seared chicken with creamed spinach

What you will need:

• 2 boneless chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons vinegar
• 1 teaspoon garlic ginger minced
• 1 tablespoon chopped rosemary
• Salt to taste
• 2 tablespoon Oil
• 1 chicken cube
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon black Pepper
• Juice of one lime

What to do:

Pound the chicken breast into a flat thin layer, marinate with garlic ginger mince, turmeric powder, black pepper, salt and rosemary.

Crumble in the chicken cube, add in the vinegar and lime juice, mix well so that the marinade will soak on the chicken. Set it aside for about an hour so the flavours will infuse well.

Once the chicken breast is well marinated, get a non-stick pan and, over medium heat, add in the oil.

Pan sear the chicken about three minutes on each side or until golden brown, serve with creamed spinach and some fried cassava.

Tip: How to pound chicken breast

Place a single breast in a plastic zip-top bag, removing as much air as possible and sealing before pounding.

You can use almost any heavy, flat object to pound the breast a skillet, a meat mallet, even an empty glass bottle.
