Ingredients

  • 1 lemon, for zest/juice
  • 2 fresh jalapeño peppers
  • ½ bunch fresh Italian parsley
  • ½ bunch fresh cilantro
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic
  • 1 ½ tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 ½ lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt

Steps

    1. Zest lemon (1 teaspoon); squeeze for juice (2 tablespoons). Remove seeds and membrane from jalapeños, if desired. Place in blender (or food processor bowl): parsley (leaves only), cilantro (leaves only), jalapeños, garlic, oil, lemon zest, juice, water, and 1 teaspoon each cumin and coriander; blend until smooth.
    2. Preheat large, nonstick sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Season chicken with salt and remaining 1 teaspoon each coriander and cumin (wash hands); coat with spray. Place chicken in pan; cook 8–10 minutes on each side, turning occasionally, or until browned and 165°F. Remove chicken from pan; let stand 5 minutes before slicing.
    3. Prepare naan bread following package instructions (if using). Serve chicken with sauce and naan on the side for dipping.
