Sicilian Lemon Chicken
Sicilian lemon and Italian herbs combine to create a crisp glaze for the roasted chicken breast, which is paired with a smoky Mediterranean style onion mash. Griddled baby gem lettuce adds freshness to the dish and a spicy paprika drizzle brings it all together to make a light and bright flavoured supper.
