Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 2 jalapeño peppers
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1/2 c. lightly packed cilantro leaves and stems
- 2 tbsp. Asian fish sauce (nam pla or nuoc mam)
- 1 tbsp. Cooking oil
- 1 tsp. Asian sesame oil
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 4 boneless
- 6 tbsp. rice-wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp. sugar
- 1/4 tsp. dried red-pepper flakes
- 1 1/2 tbsp. water
Instructions
- Light the grill or heat the broiler. In a blender or food processor, puree the jalapeños, smashed garlic cloves, the 1/2 cup cilantro leaves and stems, the fish sauce, cooking oil, sesame oil and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Put the chicken in a shallow dish and coat it with the cilantro puree.
- Grill the chicken over moderately high heat or broil it for 5 minutes. Turn and cook until just done, about 5 minutes longer.
- Meanwhile, in a small stainless-steel saucepan, bring the vinegar, sugar and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt to a simmer, stirring. Simmer for 2 minutes. Pour the liquid into a small glass or stainless-steel bowl and let cool. Add the minced garlic, the 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro, the red-pepper flakes and water. Serve each chicken breast with a small bowl of the dipping sauce alongside.
- Notes: Asian fish sauce is available at Asian markets and many supermarkets
- Wine Recommendation: The rich, unctuous texture and pronounced fruity flavor of a dry gewürztraminer from France's Alsace region will provide a lovely contrast to these strong, spicy flavors.
