These Moroccan-spiced chicken paillards offer a sophisticated balance of warm spices and zesty citrus, making them a standout choice for a healthy midweek meal. This diabetes-friendly dish uses thinly sliced chicken breasts to ensure the meat stays tender and cooks in minutes, while the aromatic rub of cumin and paprika provides a deep savoury profile without the need for heavy sauces. The addition of a light orange and honey glaze adds a delicate sweetness that perfectly complements the mild heat of the red pepper flakes.

Great for those seeking a protein-rich, low-carbohydrate dinner, this recipe is as practical as it is delicious. By using a ridged grill pan, you achieve attractive char marks and a smoky depth of flavour that mimics an outdoor barbecue. Serve these succulent chicken slices alongside a fresh seasonal salad or a portion of light herbed quinoa for a balanced, heart-healthy plate that the whole family will enjoy.

How to make Moroccan-Spiced Chicken Paillards

Heat grill pan over moderate heat until hot.

Meanwhile, simmer all sauce ingredients except butter in a 1-quart saucepan, uncovered, stirring occasionally, 2 minutes. Set aside while cooking chicken.

Cook cumin, paprika, and pepper in oil in a small skillet over moderately low heat, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl, reserving skillet for sauce (do not clean). Brush some spiced oil on 1 side of each paillard, then sprinkle with some salt. Arrange 2 paillards in grill pan, oiled sides down, and brush tops with some of spiced oil, then sprinkle with some salt. Grill 2 minutes, then turn over and grill until just cooked through, about 3 minutes more. Transfer to a platter and cover with foil. Grill remaining paillards in same manner, transferring to platter.

Pour sauce through a medium-mesh sieve into reserved small skillet, discarding solids. Add any juices from chicken accumulated on platter to sauce and bring to a boil. Remove from heat, then add butter and swirl skillet until butter is just incorporated. Season sauce with salt and spoon over chicken.
