About

This is not really a classic dish, but is one that an imaginary centuries-old settlement of mandarins, inhabiting an area between the River Hi Po and the Bristol Avon, would have prepared for visiting colour-supplement food writers.

Ingredients

2 chicken breasts, skinned and halved

Main course

Method

Flatten the chicken breasts with the flat side of a heavy knife. Score the flesh.

Combine all the ingredients to make the marinade, coat the chicken breasts all over and leave for 1 hour.

Grill for at least 5 minutes on each side.
