Indian Chicken

The other day we watching Celebrity Masterchef and they were asked to make a cumin and coriander chicken dish, with an Indian flatbread and raita of sorts. The dishes they made looked amazing and Rhys had commented on how nice they looked. I decided I would have a go at a similar recipe (after all, the way to please a man is through his stomach) and so for once, this is me thinking off my own head and putting in what I think tastes nice... I hope you (and Rhys) enjoy it!

Ingredients:
2 chicken breasts
2 cloves garlic, crushed
125ml natural yogurt (I used fat-free yogurt)
1 tbsp cumin
1 tbsp ground coriander
1/2 tbsp hot chilli powder
1/2 tbsp cayenne pepper
Salt
Pepper

Instructions:
1. Cut diagonal slits into the chicken breast. Place into a dish for marinating (I used my small oblong Pyrex dish).

2. In a mixing bowl, mix the yogurt, garlic, spices and salt and pepper. Taste the mixture - add more of any flavour as required.

3. Spoon the mixture over the chicken breasts, making sure you tuck some into the slits you cut earlier.

4. Put the dish in the fridge to marinate. Leave it at least 3 hours to allow the flavours to develop, but overnight would be preferable.

5. Preheat the oven to 220c (200 for a fan oven). Put the chicken in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until cooked through.

6. Serve as required!
