Instructions

  1. Remove the husks from the 12 cardamom pods. Place the seeds in a mortar and mash for 1-2 minutes. Add the juniper berries, fennel seeds, chilli flakes, garlic powder (or 2 cloves), cumin, peppercorns, salt, and marjoram. Pound all spices together for 2-3 minutes until well combined.
  2. Cut the 500 g chicken breast into cubes. Place in a container or freezer bag with the 250 ml olive oil and spice mixture. Mix well to coat.
  3. Refrigerate the marinated chicken for 45-60 minutes.
  4. Heat a pan over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and fry for 10 minutes until it reaches 74°C (165°F) internal temperature. Avoid high heat as the spices will burn and taste bitter.
  5. Arrange the cooked chicken on a salad and serve.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
