The Weight Watchers Points Plus Cookbook has proven once again that you can make a finger licking recipe that is also healthy. My family was so excited as we put these beautifully marinated chicken breasts on the grill last night. The wonderful smell of Indian spices was so appetizing, my son and husband said that they LOVE my new blogging project. Smile!
This delightful and easy recipe for Grilled Chicken with Cilantro and Indian Spices can be found on page 154 of the book. I followed the recipe exactly as written (except for the garnish part), but scaled up the ingredients for the paste since I made a little more chicken than the recipe calls for. It does not take more that 15 minutes to prep, but allow a couple of hours for it to sit in the fridge after you marinate it and before you grill it. Using raw and fresh herbs and spices for the paste is so simple and yet refreshing.
Grilled Chicken with Cilantro and Indian Spices
While the chicken is on the grill for about 25 minutes, you can enjoy a nice chilled glass of Chardonnay. In the last 10 minutes of grilling you may add a few slices of polenta, to make for a satisfying and easy side dish. The Points Plus Value for this delicious chicken is 4 points per 1 serving (one chicken breast). If you are tracking your food’s points values for Weight Watchers, please know that any additional food or wine will be extra points.
To embellish this summer night dinner, you can prepare a nice Mediterranean style vegetable plate with some goat cheese. Season with a little salt and pepper and drizzle olive oil to bring out the flavor of the cheese. And voila! A great dinner you will be thanked for!
