Chicken with sage & lemon

Ingredients:

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons finely shredded
  • fresh sage leaves
  • grated zest and juice of 2 lemons
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
• Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas mark 6. Cut four pieces of foil large enough to wrap each chicken breast.

• Put a chicken breast in the centre of each piece of foil, and season generously with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with a quarter of the sage and lemon zest, then drizzle some lemon juice over the top (reserving a little of the juice for serving). Wrap the foil around the chicken to make a parcel and fold over the edges to seal. Repeat the process with the remaining chicken.

• Put the chicken parcels on a baking sheet, and bake in the oven for 15 minutes until the chicken has cooked through and the juices run clear.

• To serve, unwrap the chicken and divide among four warmed plates. Drizzle with the remaining lemon juice. Serve immediately with rice.
