Moroccan Chicken Steak with Creamy Peri Sauce
Ingredients
**For the Chicken Steak:**
– 2 large chicken breasts, butterflied
– 2 tablespoons butter
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon ground coriander
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
– Salt and black pepper, to taste
– Juice of 1 lemon
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
**For the Creamy Peri Sauce:**
– 1/2 cup peri-peri sauce (store-bought or homemade)
– 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– 2 tablespoons ketchup
Instructions
**Preparing the Chicken Steak:**
1. **Butterfly the Chicken Breasts:**
– Place each chicken breast on a cutting board and slice it horizontally to open it like a book, making sure not to cut all the way through. This will create a thinner, more even piece for cooking.
2. **Marinate the Chicken:**
– In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
– Rub this spice mixture all over the chicken breasts and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes. For best results, let them marinate for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
3. **Cook the Chicken:**
– Heat the butter in a large pan over medium heat.
– Add the marinated chicken breasts and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice golden color.
– Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside to rest for a few minutes.
**Making the Creamy Peri Sauce:**
1. **Prepare the Sauce:**
– In the same pan, reduce the heat to low and add the peri-peri sauce, oregano, and salt.
– Stir in the heavy cream and ketchup, mixing until the sauce is smooth and well combined.
– Allow the sauce to simmer for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
**Serving:**
1. **Plate the Dish:**
– Place the cooked chicken steaks on a serving plate.
– Drizzle the creamy peri sauce over the chicken.
– Garnish with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice.
2. **Side Suggestions:**
– Serve the Moroccan chicken steak with a side of couscous, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
Enjoy your flavorful Moroccan chicken steak with creamy peri sauce! This dish is a great blend of spices and creamy richness that will surely impress your taste buds.
