Preparation

Step 1 – Make the Marinade

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the grated tomato, grated onion, and vegetable oil.

2. Add salt, black pepper, paprika, dried thyme, coriander, cumin, and minced garlic.

3. Finish with a splash of lemon juice and mix everything well until it forms a smooth marinade.

4. Let the marinade rest for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.

Step 2 – Marinate the Chicken

1. Place the chicken breast fillets in a container with a lid.

2. Spread part of the marinade on the bottom, arrange the chicken slices on top, then cover them with the rest of the marinade.

3. Make sure all pieces are well coated.

4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours (overnight is even better for deeper flavor).

💡 Tip: Allowing the chicken to sit in the marinade long enough is key — this is what makes it tender and flavorful.

Step 3 – Grilling

1. Preheat your grill until it’s hot.

2. Place the chicken slices directly on the grill.

3. Cook on medium heat, flipping occasionally, until golden on the outside and cooked through on the inside.

4. Continue until all the chicken is grilled.
