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
