hi
in the last few days i have read so many blogs that i have forgotten where i saw a recipe that i would like to try and was wondering if any of you lovely people might have posted the blog or saved the recipe somewhere

it was for a spiced chicken breast using cumin/ coriander/chili and then poaching in the oven in veg stock

but i cant remeber at what heat or for how long

thanks in advance

I will say Im not the best cook in the world but I think a chicken breast cooked in the oven should take about 25 mins on 180-200. That sounds about right to me, give it a go whats the worst that could happen? a quick visit to A&E ?

Was it this one?

Herb and spice crusted baked chicken breasts
Ingredients

2 x 150g skinless and boneless chicken breast fillets
a few sprigs of parsley, basil or oregano (very finely chopped)
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
low fat cooking spray
250ml vegetable stock
salt and pepper to taste
a little chilli powder (optional)

Step 1 Pre-heat oven to 200C/400f/Gas Mark 6. Make shallow cuts in the chicken with the tip of a sharp knife and place the chicken breasts in a non-stick baking tray/tin.
Step 2 Mix the herbs and spices together in a small bowl and then spread the mixture all over the chicken breasts with your hands, patting the mixture in to the cuts on the chicken. Spray a little low-fat spray over the top and then pour the stock into the tray around the chicken, but NOT over the top.
Step 3 Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the herb and spice mix is golden brown and slightly crispy. Cut the chicken into slices, and serve with salad. Or, serve with the juices poured around the chicken with seasonal vegetables, rice or pasta.

It's on the Lavender & Lovage website, but I can't get a link to work. If you look up the recipe title on Google you'll get there!
