The acidity from the lemons in this dish makes a wonderful marinade and helps make the chicken beautifully tender. Serve with roasted cherry tomatoes on the vine. Time does not include marinating. Ingredients:
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts |
3 garlic cloves, crushed |
3 lemons, zest and juice |
1 red chili pepper, deseeded and finely chopped |

2 tablespoons ground coriander |
salt & freshly ground black pepper |
1 ounce cilantro |
Directions:
1. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
2. Mix together the garlic, lemon zest and juice, chili, honey and ground coriander. Turn the chicken in the marinade to coat and leave to marinate in a covered non-metallic dish for 2-3 hours or overnight in the fridge.
3. Preheat the oven to 400°F Roast the chicken in the marinade for 35-40 minutes until the chicken is tender.
