GRILLED GREEN CHICKEN

When it’s grilling time, there are a million ideas for marinating your meat. This time I decided to go green. I used chicken fillets but this is made best if you use chicken thighs. That is why, I have mentioned thighs in my ingredient list. For those who want to spice this up, you are always welcome to use green chilli paste and garam masala powder. After all cooking is all about improvising to your taste J So make it your way...cheers to grills n thrills!!
Btw, if you are wondering about the reds in the pic, that is chicken tikka. Recipe for marinade is same as my first post Salmon tikka.
