Method

  1. Preheat the oven to fan 170C/conventional 190C/gas 5. Put the chicken breasts, skin-side up, in one layer in a shallow ovenproof dish or tin. Put all the remaining ingredients in a bowl and warm through in the microwave or a small pan for 1 minute, then stir to mix everything together and pour over the chicken.
  2. Slide the dish into the oven and roast the chicken for 30-40 minutes, basting every 10 minutes or so. The juices will gradually thicken and give the chicken a shiny coating at the end. Leave the chicken to stand for 5 minutes before serving with new potatoes and a green salad.

'I really enjoyed the simplicity of this dish and it was quick. It would also be great for a summer barbecue.'

    I have made this several times and the family all enjoy it. You do need to be careful to check the oven regularly because it will quickly burn. A nice easy dish.

    Delicious! Chicken stays moist and has a lovely sticky coating. It is a favourite family supper. One of my favorites too as it is so quick and easy.

    My daughter said it didn't taste very lemony, so will probably try more lemons next time, but it was very nice.
