Chicken Breast with Chicken 65

This is a simple and flavourful dish inspired by the popular Chicken 65. Instead of using bite-sized pieces, this recipe uses a whole chicken breast marinated in Chicken 65 spices, making it an easy option for a quick lunch, dinner, or meal prep.

For our recipe, we have used Shan Chicken 65 provided to us by one of our partners, Sosun Fihaara. This ready-to-use spice mix is packed with aromatic spices, making it easy to recreate the signature Chicken 65 flavour at home with minimal effort.

Serving Size: 1-2 people

Ingredients:

• 1 skinless, boneless chicken breast (170-250g)
• 4 tsp Shan Chicken 65
• 3 tbsp Greek plain yoghurt
• 2 ½ tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions:

1. Cut the 170–250g skinless, boneless chicken breast in half. Score each piece with 3 to 4 shallow cuts on both sides to help the marinade absorb better.
2. In a bowl, combine 4 tsp Shan Chicken 65 and 3 tbsp plain Greek yoghurt to make a thick marinade.
3. Add the chicken to the marinade and coat both pieces evenly using your hands or tongs. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
4. Melt 1½ tbsp unsalted butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 5 to 7 minutes on the first side, checking occasionally to prevent it from burning.
5. Flip the chicken, add the remaining 1 tbsp unsalted butter, and cook for another 5 to 7 minutes. Move the chicken around the pan occasionally so it doesn't stick, and spoon the melted butter over the chicken as it cooks.
6. If you'd like a darker golden colour, increase the heat to high for the last 30 to 60 seconds only.
7. Switch off the heat and let the chicken rest in the pan for 3 to 5 minutes before serving.
