Full recipe below and #YouTube video out soon!

Ingredients:

  • 2 x Chicken Breasts

  • 1 x Lemon

  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil

  • 2 x Garlic Cloves

  • Dried Oregano

  • Rock Salt & Pepper

  • Ziplock Bag

Method:

Take your chicken breasts, slice them down the middle to butterfly them, separting the mini breast fillets (2 x per breast). Pop these into a zip lock bag, to this, add some rock salt & pepper, zest of 1 x lemon, a good glug of extra virgin olive oil, 2 x crushed garlic cloves, a pinch of dried oregano, and finally, slice the lemon in half, squeeze in the juice and chuck the lemon in. Chuck the bag into the fridge for 2-3 hours, shaking up every 30-40 mins to ensure the chicken is coated/marinated well.


To Cook:

Once the chicken has finished marinating, let this sit at room temperature for 10 mins. Heat up a griddle pan or use a charcoal grill/bbq. Cook the butterfly marinated chicken breasts for around 10 mins, turning every few mins to color, finally finish these in an oven at 180C for 5 mins. Allow to rest, season well, slice thinly and serve, they won't last long :)
