Chicken Magherita

"This chicken is so full of flavour it is great as is, I served mine with a subtle lemon, mustard sauce which was lovely. If you are after a quick light meal that tastes great, scrap the cakes and just serve with some roasted baby vine tomatoes, a meal that can be on the table in about 35 Min's."

  1. This was a delicious recipe. I made as written and the chicken turned out very flavourfull and moist. I wasn't sure what the cakes were you refer to in the introduction, but we just had the chicken with the vine tomatoes and they were a great accompaniment. Definitely one I will be making again, thanks for posting.
