I love this easy chicken recipe from McCormick with lots of paprika and oregano to add antioxidants. Also a good one for a gluten-free diet as pure dried spices have nothing else added (eg thickeners) and so are safe for coeliac disease.

Ingredients

1 kg chicken pieces, trimmed of fat
1 lemon, juice and zest
2 tbsp McCORMICK paprika (Sweet Hungarian Style)
½ tsp McCORMICK oregano leaves
2 tsp fresh garlic, finely chopped
1 tbsp olive oil
½ cup fresh coriander leaves, chopped, to serve
4 cups cooked jasmine rice, to serve

Methods/steps

1. Score chicken pieces and place into a large freezer bag.

2. Mix lemon juice, paprika, oregano, garlic and oil and pour over chicken and massage well.

3. Marinade for at least 1 hour or overnight.

4. Barbecue or oven bake in a hot (200°C) oven for 25 minutes.

5. Serve on a bed of rice tipped with coriander and lemon zest.
