First thing that comes to my mind when thinking about chicken breast is a chicken curry especially ones with lots of coconut milk. This time however I've decided to make something different.
These chicken breasts marinated in plenty of lemon juice and garlic are full of flavours. Chicken kebabs from my childhood had the same taste as they would have been marinated in lime juice and drizzled with melted butter when on the grill. you don't have to marinade them for long, Half an hour in the fridge with plenty of lemon juice, garlic and salt does the trick for this simple yet tasty dish. Accompanied with some fresh asparagus which I cooked for a couple of minutes with butter and salt and some creamy mash potatoes, it made for the perfect mid week supper.
Enjoy:-)
