Ingredients: 2 chicken breasts, skin removed; 1 teaspoon finely grated mandarin zest or orange zest; 1 clove garlic, peeled and finely chopped; 2-4 large leaves to wrap the chicken in (I used Savoy cabbage leaves, blanched in salted boiling water until soft, but you could use chard, silverbeet or vine leaves); 1 heaped tablespoon finely chopped fresh herbs (e.g. rosemary, thyme, oregano and basil); 1 onion, quartered; 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil; ½ teaspoon Spanish sweet smoked paprika (also called pimenton dulce); 1 bayleaf; 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt few grinds black pepper
