Ingredients

2 chicken breasts

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp crushed coriander seeds

1 tsp grated limes zest

½ tsp paprika

½ tsp muscovado sugar

1 lime

6 unpeeled garlic cloves

2 fresh red chillies

SIDE

mixed leaf salad

salsa

Preparation

  1. Mix 2 tbsp olive oil with 1 tsp each crushed coriander seeds and grated lime zest and 1⁄2 tsp each paprika and light muscovado sugar.

  2. Put 2 chicken breasts in a baking dish, spoon the marinade over, then squeeze over a little lime juice. Cover and marinate for 30 minutes.

  3. Cut halfway through the middle of the chicken breasts from the side to create a ‘stuffing pocket’. Slip 1-2 lime slices in each breast and season. Tuck 6 unpeeled garlic cloves and 2 fresh red chillies around the chicken.

  4. Roast the chicken breasts in a baking dish, uncovered, for 30-35 minutes in a preheated oven (190C/gas 5/fan oven 170C). To check if they are done, prod the chicken with your finger - if it’s still a bit soft, give it a bit longer.

  5. Serve with salad and salsa.
