Chilli Lime Chicken with Rosti and Salsa


This is an old bbq recipe that we've been using for years, but it's a great Weight Watchers dish because all you count is the chicken, the rest of the marinade is point free.
4 x 125 chicken breasts, pounded to even size if necessary
1/3 cup lime juice
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 tbs grated ginger, fresh or bottled
1 small red chilli, seeded and chopped
1 tbs soy sauce
2 spring onions, chopped


Mix all marinade ingredients in a shallow dish and add chicken, turning to coat.  Marinate in the fridge for a couple of hours.  Cook on a bbq or griddle pan until brown and tender. 
Serves 4 @ 5 ProPoints each. 

Avocado and Red Onion Salsa
1/2 avocado chopped
Red onion to taste, chopped (I used about a quarter)
Handful of fresh coriander roughly chopped
Juice of half a lime.
Freshly ground black pepper.
A little salt.
 Mix all ingredients in a bowl.  Sit for a while as you cook the chicken.
Serves 4 @ 1 ProPoint each.

Potato Rosti
320g potato, peeled
1 spring onion chopped
1 clove garlic (or more to taste)
1 small egg white, beaten
salt and pepper
2 tsp olive oil

Par boil potatoes, whole or cut in half if large, until just starting to soften on the outside.
Leave to cool, then grate coarsely and mix with other ingredients.  Heat the oil in a medium pan to a fairly high heat, heap four equal spoons of mixture into pan then flatten with an oiled spatula.  Cook until brown, don't be tempted to turn them too soon or they might fall apart.  Turn and cook the other side until brown.
Serves 4@ 3 ProPoints each.

  1. This sounds ..."devine!"
    Does the red chilli make it spicy?
    Do you know that you have word verification on both your blogs?

  2. Pat I used more than half of a large red chilli (the original recipe specifies one small) and it didn't make it spicy at all, in fact not spicy enough for us. Most of the marinade falls off once it's lifted into the pan and during cooking.
    Word verification? I hate it! Thanks for letting me know, Blogger must have changed it somehow, it's gone now hopefully.
