Preparation method

How do you make this?

Preparation of the beans: Cut off the ends of the green beans.

Boil the green beans for 5 minutes in a large pot of salted boiling water with a bouillon cube and a knob of butter.

Drain the beans and immediately place them in ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them drain well.

Mix the beans with the sesame oil and lime juice, sprinkle with roasted sesame seeds, crispy onions, and finely chopped mint.

Jalapeño coriander marinade: Place the coriander, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, honey, garlic, jalapeño pepper, salt, and pepper in a blender or use an immersion blender. Blend until smooth.

Flatten the chicken breasts and place them in a dish. Pour the marinade over them, ensuring the chicken is well coated. Let the chicken marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

Grilling the chicken: Heat the grill pan over medium heat.

Grill the chicken breasts on both sides until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side, depending on thickness.

Serving: Serve the grilled chicken with the sesame beans and basmati rice.

Tips

Do you want the dish even spicier? Leave the seeds of the Jalapeño pepper in the marinade. The sesambones are also wonderfully cold as a side dish with another meal.
