Instructions
-
In a large ziplock freezer bag, combine the oil, garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, salt and cayenne pepper. Seal the bag and swish the mixture and combine.
-
Add the chicken, then press the air out of the bag and seal tightly. Massage the marinade into the breasts until evenly coated.
-
Place the bag in a bowl (in case of leakage) in the refrigerator for at least 5 hours or overnight.
-
Clean the grill and preheat to high heat. Lightly dip a wad of paper towels in vegetable oil and, using tongs, carefully rub over grates several times until glossy and coated.
-
Place chicken on the grill and cook, covered, for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Be careful not to overcook.
Apricot Chutney:
-
Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, for about 6 minutes.
-
Add the ginger and garlic and cook a minute more. Add the apricots, red bell peppers, cayenne pepper, honey, apple cider vinegar and water and bring to a boil.
-
Turn the heat down to low and simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour until the apricots are tender and most of the liquid is gone. The mixture should look “jammy.” If the chutney looks dry before it’s done, add a few tablespoons more water and continue cooking.
-
Season with salt and more cayenne pepper if desired. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve at room temperature.
