Honey and Chilli Grilled Chicken

As today marks the First of Ramadhan, I have decided to start serving healthier meals for the family. This recipe is certainly refreshing and very filling, in fact! Will definitely cook this again and add other ingredients to it for a more bursting flavour. :)

Ingredients (serves 5)

6 chicken breasts

5 cloves of garlic, half inch ginger:  blended to form paste

As many cherry tomatoes you like

Lettuce (tear to bite-sized pieces)

2 tbsp chilli powder (more if you like it spicy)

2 tbsp oyster sauce

1 tbsp Maggi seasoning

1 tbsp sweet sauce

1 tbsp freshly ground black pepper

1 large lemon (zest and juice)

Salt and pepper

2. Lather chicken pieces with garlic and ginger paste and a little bit of salt.
3. Put chicken pieces in a pot and cover with water.
4. Add a dash of salt and pepper.
5. Heat pot with chicken and water for 5 minutes and then remove chicken pieces from pot.
6. Continue to boil the water. (To make stock for mashed patato and black pepper sauce)
7. Cool chicken for 5 minutes and place on large baking dish.
8. Lather (generously) chicken pieces with oyster sauce, chilli powder, Maggi seasoning, honey and sweet sauce.
9. Sprinkle freshly ground black pepper and lemon zest on chicken.
