Six-Spice Encrusted Breast of Chicken
PREP TIME: 30 minutes
SERVES: 4

COMMENT:
There are hundreds of interesting combinations of spices, herbs, and seasonings used to coat meats and seafood to create unique or regional flavors. This six-spice rub combines many of the ethnic flavors found in the cultures surrounding New Orleans and is one of my favorites.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 4 boneless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons Steen’s 100% Pure Cane Syrup
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • For the spice rub
  • 3 tablespoons curry powder
  • 3 tablespoons ground cumin
  • 2 tablespoons allspice
  • 3 tablespoons paprika
  • 2 tablespoons powdered ginger
  • 2 tablespoons Zatarain’s Creole Seasoning

METHOD:
Mix all the spices together well. Add oil, cane syrup and balsamic vinegar. Prior to sautéing or grilling, rub the chicken breast well with the spice rub. Sauté (using a non-stick frying pan for best results) or grill for 7 to 10 minutes on each side. I especially like to serve this spice encrusted chicken over a generous serving of Zatarain’s Jambalaya or Zatarain’s Dirty Rice.
