This month Recipe Redux is doing some Spring Cleaning!
The Challenge
“Go through your pantry, cupboards, freezer, or fridge; what ‘treasures’ have you found? Pick an ingredient/spice/condiment that’s been hanging out for a while and give it the attention it needs. Share a healthy recipe made using your new-found pantry prize.”
That’s a tough one. I’m an impulse spice buyer. I hear about a new-to-me flavor and I want to give it a try. Problem is, my desire to create exceeds my free time allowed. So some spices get “shelved”.
That was the case with cardamom and ground coriander seeds. So for today’s recipe post, I chose to use both. I mixed both spices with a bit of salt, lemon juice and olive oil to make a rub.
Chicken breast sounded like a good protein to try out my new spice rub.
A quick pan saute and side of pesto coated muliti-grain angel hair and it was Cardamom Coriander Chicken dinner!
Ingredients
- 4 4-ounce chicken breasts
- 1/2 teaspoon cardamom
- 1/2 teaspoon coriander seed powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
