Perfect timing, as I was quite confused about what to make for my lunch. I didn&#8217;t think twice, went ahead and made green chicken.<\/p>\n<p>Boneless chicken was marinated in a marinade that was made by pureeing: ginger, garlic, green chilies, whole cardamom, mint leaves, cilantro, curry leaves and whole peppercorns. This marinade is overloaded with flavor and aroma. I let the chicken rest for a few minutes and then cooked in a pan till chicken turned golden brown. This is a dry dish without any gravy, and I served this along with tomato rice. The green chicken tasted absolutely delicious, my Man and I finished it in no time. I&#8217;ll be making this quite often hereafter.<\/p>\n<p>This makes a perfect appetizer or can be served along with rice, roti or can\u00a0be made into wraps.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-24343\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Green-Chicken-Recipe.jpg\" alt=\"Green Chicken Recipe\" width=\"475\" height=\"713\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Green-Chicken-Recipe.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Green-Chicken-Recipe-133x200.jpg 133w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Cooking Video<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Healthy &amp; Refreshing Mint Chicken | Easy Recipe | Homemade Marinade\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xKaKevHZtW0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe mceNonEditable\" data-rating=\"0\"> \t<link itemprop=\"image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Cilantro-Mint-Chicken.jpg\" \/>\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Green Chicken- Cilantro Mint Chicken<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERClear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\"><span class=\"xlate\">Recipe Type<\/span>: <span class=\"type\">Appetiser<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cuisine: <span class=\"cuisine\">Indian<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Author: <span class=\"author\">Thasneen<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Prep time: <time itemprop=\"prepTime\" datetime=\"PT30M\">30 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cook time: <time itemprop=\"cookTime\" datetime=\"PT20M\">20 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Total time: <time itemprop=\"totalTime\" datetime=\"PT50M\">50 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Serves: <span class=\"yield\">4 People<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Chicken breasts, boneless, cubed- 2 breasts<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Coconut Oil- 1 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Salt- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Lime or lemon juice- 1 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ERSeparator\">[b]For making the marinade[\/b]<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Green onions, chopped- 2 stalks<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Garlic- 3 cloves<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Ginger- 2-inch slice<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Whole black peppercorns- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Cumin seeds- 1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Mint leaves- 1\/2 cup<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Cilantro, chopped- 1\/4 cup<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Water- 1\/2 cup<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERInstructions\">\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">Instructions<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Into a blender jar, add all the above-mentioned ingredients &#8216;for making the marinade&#8217;, grind to a smooth paste.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Cut the chicken breasts into cubes and add them into a bowl.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Or use chicken thighs or bone-in pieces.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Pour the marinade over the chicken, combine well and let marinate for 30 minutes to an hour.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Place a non-stick pan over medium heat.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Add the marinated chicken along with the marinade that&#8217;s left in the bowl.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Cook covered till the chicken has almost cooked.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Open the lid, cook uncovered till the liquid has dried off.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">If you want this dish to be spicy, add 1\/2 tsp ground black pepper.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Increase the heat to high.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Add coconut oil, stir fry for 2 minutes.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Add lime or lemon juice, stir fry for 2 minutes till the chicken has turned golden brown.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Let the chicken turn golden brown, that&#8217;s when this dish will taste delicious.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">This is a dry dish and can be served as an appetizer- if you prefer you can insert a toothpick into each cooked chicken cube.
