GRILLED WEST INDIES SPICE-RUBBED
CHICKEN BREAST
 
3 tbsp. curry powder
3 tbsp. ground cumin
2 tbsp. allspice
3 tbsp. paprika
2 tbsp. powdered ginger
1 tbsp. cayenne pepper
2 tbsp. salt
2 tbsp. freshly cracked black pepper

4 firm bananas, skin on and halved lengthwise 2 tbsp. vegetable oil 1 tbsp. soft butter 2 tbsp. molasses

1. Mix all the spices together well, rub this mixture over both sides of each chicken breast, cover, and refrigerate for 2 hours.

2. Over a medium fire, grill the chicken breasts skin side down for 7 to 8 minutes, until well browned and heavily crusted. Turn them and grill an additional 10 minutes. Check for doneness by nicking the largest breast at the fattest point; the meat should be fully opaque.

The grilled banana provides a little sweetness and mellowness to contrast with the crispy chicken. Serves 4 as a main course.

Great recipe. Left out the Allspice...added a tab of nutmeg. Quartered the cayenne pepper. Made a quick sauce of Greek yogurt, fresh cilantro, and fresh mango to go with it. Delicious. I didn't use the bananas.

If you haven't rub your chicken the West Indies way, you don't know what your missing. Used on both split and boneless breasts. Everyone gave two thumbs up. It had a wonderful flavor and not too hot. Served with ranch dressing and BBQ sauce on the side. Even great on a salad. I will continue using this rub.
