So when Zorabian Chicken requested ‘Food 4 D Soul’ to do a review of their range, I happily agreed as I had been using their products for a while now and loved them. Bang came a hamper box filled with Zorabian goodies the next day and a cute note from its famous owner Perizaad Zorabian. I had an entire range to create recipes of my own & a few others to relish & enjoy!
I tried their Boneless Chicken Chicken Breasts & Marinated Tandoori Chicken (Boneless) & was absolutely thrilled with their outcome. Here are my quick recipes of the same
1) Grilled Chicken Breasts in a Honey glazed Barbeque & Mustard Sauce , using the Zorabian Boneless Chicken Breasts
2) Chicken Tikka Biryani using the Zorabian Marinated Boneless Tandoori Chicken
Sharing here are my recipes of the above that you can recreate at home using the Zorabian Chicken available at your nearest store.
Grilled Chicken Breasts in a Honey glazed Barbeque & Mustard Sauce
The boneless, skinless Chicken Breasts from Zorabian comes in 2 convenient sizes – 250 gm at Rs 105 good enough for a meal for 1 & a 500 gm pack at Rs 160 , ideal for a meal for 3. The chicken pieces are chunky, soft and very fresh.
Ingredients
- I pack of Zorabian Chicken Breasts (250 gm pack)
- Light Olive Oil
- Garlic – 1 tablespoon finely chopped
- For the Marination – 1 Tsp each of Pepper, Lemon Juice , Paprika powder & a pinch of salt
- For the Sauce – 1 Tbsp each of Barbeque Sauce, English Mustard Sauce, Honey
- For Seasoning – Italian Herbs (Try Keya)
- Garnish Suggestion – Chopped Parsley
Process
1) Clean the chicken breasts under running water & dry completely with a kitchen towel
2) Pound the pieces till it is about 1 inch flat & make small slits for the marination to seep in
3) Now , marinate the chicken with the marination ingregients and leave it covered with cling film in the fridge for atleast an hour
4) Heat Olive Oil in a grilled pan and lightly fry the chopped garlic. Now add the chicken & turn the pieces till both the sides are well grilled. Be sure not to press the Chicken Breasts as it leaves the pieces dry and chewy and saps it of its natural juices.
5) When the Chicken is three-fourth done, add the mixture of the sauces and coat the chicken pieces well.
6) Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes & then add the Italian Herbs seasoning & give it a good mix
7) Now plate the Chicken and garnish with the choppes parsley & serve with your favourite sides. I served mine with Herbed Rice , Mashed Potatoes and Grilled Veggies.
The second recipe that I tried was an easy Chicken Tikka Biryani using the Zorabian marinated options. It was one of those evenings when I was late from work & returned home completely famished. I quickly tossed up this easy and tasty Chicken biryani, much to the delight of the entire family, including the 9 year old who found bite – size chicken pieces tender & tasty.
