Ingredients
1 large red bell pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
6 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
1 teaspoon peri-peri* spice, ground (use less for milder flavor)
1 tablespoon fresh oregano, stems removed
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
8 6-ounce chicken breasts
Directions
- Preheat grill to 450°F.
- Wash pepper, split open, remove the seeds and white membranes. Drizzle lightly with ½ teaspoon olive oil. Place skin up on a tray and roast until slightly charred. Then remove the pepper and let it cool.
- Place garlic on tray and roast until soft and aromatic. Set aside to cool.
- Combine all ingredients in a food processor and puree to a thick paste. Add marinade to chicken. For best flavor, marinate overnight.
Cooking Note
- Peri peri peppers, also known as African bird’s eye chilies, are a popular ingredient in African cooking. Cayenne pepper is a suitable substitute.
