Instructions
Creating Easy Pomegranate Molasses Grilled Chicken is simple when you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together pomegranate molasses, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes until well combined.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor).
3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, heat it on the stovetop over medium-high heat.
4. Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
5. Serve: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh pomegranate seeds and chopped parsley before serving.
These simple steps will lead you to a delicious dish that is both impressive and satisfying.
