My Best Healthy Recipe - Grilled Chicken & Butter Rice - Patricia

For Grilled Chicken

- 2 chicken thighs
- 1/2 teaspoons of chopped garlic
- 1/2 teaspoons of pepper
- 1/4 teaspoons of salt
- 1 teaspoon of chili powder

For Butter Rice

- 2 cups of brown rice
- 4 tablespoons of melted butter
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 cardamom

For Grilled Chicken

1. Marinate the chicken with other ingredients.
2. Refrigerate for about 30 mins.
3. Fry about 5 mins on each side of the chicken thigh in a hot pan. No oil is needed as the fat beneath the skin is sufficient.
