  • Mix the spices in a jar and tip them into a zip lock bag. You can make extra to make this again.
  • Add the chicken breasts to the bag with the lemon juice. Massage the mixture into the chicken and leave to marinade for a few hours, massaging at regular intervals during the marinating time.
  • When you are ready to cook, heat your oven to 160°C (fan) or 180°C regular.
  • Bake uncovered for about 45 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly cooked throughout. This will depend on the size of the pieces. By baking them whole it will keep the breast nice and moist.
