  • 1 cup red wine
  • ¼ cup white vinegar
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

Spice rub

  • 1 tbsp ground cumin

  • 1 tsp turmeric powder
  • ½ tsp cayenne pepper
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

3lbs chicken breast

2 red tomatoes, sliced

½ head of red cabbage

Instructions

  1. Combine all the spices together for the spice rub.
  2. Rub half your spice rub on all your chicken, then place chicken in a large ziploc bag.
  3. Add all ingredients for marinade into ziploc bag with chicken.
  4. Let chicken marinate overnight or at least 4 hours.
  5. Take chicken out of the fridge an hour before grilling, so that it can get to room temperature.
  6. Heat grill up to medium high and cook for 8 minutes on each side. Save the marinade!
  7. Remove chicken from the grill, cover with foil, and let rest for 5 minutes.
  8. Slice chicken into strips and set aside.
  9. Place a sheet of foil on your grill. Throw your tomato slices on the grill and grill for a couple minutes each side.
  10. Heat up medium sized pan and saute onions from the marinade, after a couple minutes add the cabbage and pour in half the remaining marinade. Saute until cabbage just barely starts to soften. You don’t want it to be mushy!
  11. Serve chicken with cabbage and tomatoes. Eat it with yellow jasmine rice and hummus!
