Mustard Honey Grilled Chicken - My style

Ingredients:

200 gms chicken breast pieces (boneless; cut into thin slices)
3 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp mustard paste
1/2 tbsp honey
1 tsp freshly crushed pepper corns
2-3 pods of garlic (crushed finely)
1 green chillie (finely sliced)
1/2 tsp Thyme (freshly chopped or dry herb)
1/2 tsp Rosemary (freshly chopped or dry herb)
1 lemon juice
Salt to taste


Method:

Wash and dry the chicken slices. Put small cuts into the slices for the marinade to seep in.

Now in a bowl add all the other ingredients and mix it well. Taste it for making any moderations. Now add the chicken slices and mix well. Cover the bowl with a cling film and let it marinate for atleast 4-5 hrs in the fridge(can be cooked with marination of 30-45 mins also but for best results let the spices and juices soak in!).

Take it out of the fridge atleast 40 mins before grilling (for the chicken to come to room temperature).

Next take a non-stick pan and put it one the gas. When heated put the chicken pieces 2-3 at a time and let it cook on low flame till brown and crispy on both slides. Keep turning over and checking that they are not getting burnt. If you feel the chicked to be sticking to the pan then sprinkle some oil. Insert fork in the pieces to see that the chicken is cooked from within too. Remove and keep aside on a plate.

Repeat for the rest of the pieces. When all pieces done and kept on the plate. Add 1 tbsp water to the leftover marinade. Now put the pieces back on the pan and pour this marinade on top and let it just cover all the pieces for 3-4 mins on high flame (don't burn please). Take it out on a plate and serve with garlic or herbed toast.

Enjoy and let me know.  

Grilled Cheese Open Toast - My style

Ingredients:

2 bread slices (cut into 4 square pieces each) 
3 tbsp butter
2 cheese cubes (grated)
1/2 tsp finely chopped green chillies (optional)
1 tbsp capsicum finely chopped
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp Maggi Hot & Sweet sauce or Garlic Sauce
1 piece of garlic mashed to paste
Mix of herbs (any you want or have - parsley or rosemary or celery or thyme etc)
Salt as per taste

Method:

Put all the ingredients in a bowl (except for the bread slices) and mix it well and let it rest for 15-20 mins for the flavors to absorb and mix. Now take the 8 pieces of bread and with the help of knife or spoon put the mixture on each piece. 

Now put a non-stick pan on the gas. Let it warm then put  4 pieces of the bread and cover it with a lid and let it grill. keep checking. When the butter is slightly melted and there is fragrance of garlic & herbs coming and the bread would appear toasted. Take them out. Do the same for the next batch.

Now put them on a tray and serve. Kids and adults will love alike.

As I personally feel, cooking is all about adding your individual twist to it. So go ahead and experiment with combinations like no garlic or add schzeuan sauce or add flavored cheese instead of plain etc...the permutation combinations are unlimited. 

Let me know how you liked and cooked it.

Bon apetit !!
