Quick, Easy, and Delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I'm a poor college student and I had some frozen chicken and was wondering what I could do with it. This was one of the only... recipes that I had all the ingredients already so I gave it a shot and man was I impressed! It was amazing! Definitely will keep this recipe in my back pocket for the future!Read more

Simply wonderful
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This chicken was simple and very tasty. Instead of pounding the chicken I cut them down the middle to make thin halves. It... worked out just as easy but with less mess than pounding the chicken. My family has asked I put this into the must make again box. Read more

I had lots of Oranges just sitting there, so I decided to add orange juice to the chicken, I also added a little of whole... cumins for more cumin flavor. It came out great, orange juice gave the chicken great flavor. Will do this dish again.Read more

Just Okay
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This chicken dish is nice and simple but it does lack a little flavor. I used quite a bit of cumin because I love the flavor... but I wasn't quite satisfied with the outcome. I'll definitely try it again but with putting my own spin on it.Read more

very good but made adjustments
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I added cumin seeds in addition to cumin powder. They give a nice smokey spicy flavor when they pop while you are grilling... the chicken. I also added finely minced garlic and peri peri peppers. Very simple and very delicious, the taste of the cumin when grilled is very delicious we will make this again! Read more
