Ingredients:
- 3 chicken breasts;
- 3 green limes, cut into wedges.
for the marinade:
- 2 tbsp. neutral-flavored oil;
- 1 tbsp. tomato paste (ketchup will do in a pinch);
- 1 tbsp. brown sugar;
- 0.5 tsp. hot paprika powder or flakes;
- 0.75 tsp. salt;
- 0.5 tsp. ground cumin;
- 0.5 tsp. sweet paprika powder;
- 1 clove garlic or 0.5 tsp. garlic powder;
- a large pinch of ground black pepper.
Preparation:
1. Preheat the oven to 200 °C or light the grill (a slightly higher than medium temperature is needed).
2. Mix all marinade ingredients well, coat the chicken breasts with it, place them in a deeper dish, arrange two lime wedges around the meat, and let it marinate for 20–30 min.
3. Place the marinated meat on a wide, oiled baking tray and bake for about 20 min., then turn on the grill function for a few minutes to brown the top nicely. If grilling, about 15 min. will be enough (or depending on the heat and thickness of the breasts).
