Zesty Lemon Chicken



I was gutted to hear that WW had stopped producing their Zesty Chicken Marinade.....it was lovely.....so I decided to google and see if I could find another recipe. I found this one   


I did 2 portions and it came out of the WW recipe builder at 1sp per portion....and that includes the chicken!!

I've altered the recipe a bit (left out the olive oil and used a roasting bag)

Ingredients

2 chicken breasts, cut into large chunks
1 lemon, zest and juice
1 medium onion, cut into large chunks
1 teaspoon of garlic puree
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon thyme
Salt and black pepper to taste

Method 

Place the chicken chunks in a roasting bag, all the other ingredients and tip and tumble the chicken pieces in the mix until they are all covered with the mix. 



Marinade overnight (or a minimum of 12 hours)

Take the chicken from the fridge about half an hour before you are ready to cook to allow the chicken to come to room temperature before cooking (this ensures that the chicken cooks evenly)

When ready to cook preheat the oven to 180/ 160 fan/ gas 5.

Place the roasting bag on a baking sheet in the bottom of the oven making sure that the roasting bag has room to expand without touching the sides or any other shelves in the oven.

Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes (thought the chicken was a bit dry but hubby liked it....I'm going to reduce the time next tme ....he won't notice!!)

Serve with your desired side dish adding appropriate points.
