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.

- ½ tsp McCORMICK oregano leaves
- 2 tsp fresh garlic, finely chopped
