Macros have been calculated using chicken breast. Using chicken thighs will decrease the protein level slightly and increase the fat and calorie levels.
Ingredients
-
600g Chicken Breast (alternatively, you can use chicken thighs, boneless & skinless)
-
4 tbsp (60ml) Olive Oil
-
1 tsp Ground Cumin
-
1 tsp Ground Coriander
-
1 tsp Paprika
-
½ tsp Ground Turmeric
-
½ tsp Ground Cloves
-
A pinch of Pink Himalayan / Rock / Sea Salt
Directions
Mix all of the spices together and then add 2 tbsp (30ml) of the olive oil.
Place the chicken in a food bag and pour the marinade in.
Massage the marinade into the chicken and allow to rest for a couple of hours or preferably overnight.
Bake the chicken at 180°C until cooked - this usually takes 25-30 minutes. If the chicken is already chopped, it’ll take less time (around 15-20 mins).
Allow the chicken to cool slightly, then slice into bite sized pieces and re-fry in the remaining oil until crispy. This should take around 10 minutes over a medium to high heat.
