Brazilian Beer Marinated Chicken - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    4 garlic cloves, smashed
    4 slices peeled fresh ginger, smashed (1/4-inch each)
    1 medium onion, thinly sliced
    1 tablespoon sweet paprika
    1 teaspoon kosher salt
    1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
    1/2 teaspoon caraway seed
    1/2 green bell pepper, finely chopped
    1/4 cup Dijon mustard
    2 cups dark lager beer (preferably Xingu Black Beer) or 2 cups stout beer (American beer is good too)
    1/4 cup vegetable oil
    4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 oz each)
    2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
    1/4 cup chopped cilantro
    lime wedge, for serving
Preparation
    In a shallow dish, mix the garlic, ginger, onion, paprika, salt, black pepper, caraway seeds, green pepper, mustard, beer and oil.
    Add the chicken, cover and refrigerate for 4 hours, turning a few times.
    Light a grill.
    Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill over high heat until nicely browned and just cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.
    Transfer the chicken to a platter and brush with the melted butter.
    Scatter the cilantro over the top and serve with lime wedges.
    Wonderful with baked potatoes and a green vegetable.
    *Xingu Black Beer is an anise-scented, bittersweet black lager from Brazil.*.
