Grilled Chicken Paillards

Chicken paillards are really just pounded-thin chicken breasts. They work great on the grill because they cook up quickly and evenly. These get an added punch of flavor from a quick paste applied before grilling.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless chicken, breast halves
  • 2 cloves garlic, smashed
  • sea salt, to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, extra virgin

Instructions

  • Place a chicken breast half between two sheets of wax or parchment paper and pound with a heavy pot or a foil-covered brick until an even thickness of 1/2 inch. Repeat with remaining chicken breasts and place in a shallow pan.
  • Pound together garlic with a pinch of salt to make a paste and mix in cumin, coriander and olive oil. Cover paillards in mixture and marinate at least 10 minutes and up to overnight.
  • Heat grill to medium high. Place paillards over direct heat and grill for 2-3 minutes per side, until just cooked through.
