Method

01
Heat oven to 400oF/200oC/Mark 6
02
In a bowl, mix the quinoa flakes with the lemon chicken rub
03
Squeeze the lemon juice over the chicken breasts and immediately coat with the rub mixture
04
Put the chicken on a large piece of foil and add the remaining ingredients. Fold up the foil to create a parcel
05
Cook in the oven for 40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked and clear juices are seen when tested with a fork
06
I have added 80g/3oz of brown rice to the parcel, which cooks in the juices and stock. If doing this, check the parcel to ensure the rice is still moist, and add liquid if required. the rice should be nutty and not overcooked. The chicken is equally delicious served cold.
