Chicken breast fillets are meaty and easy to eat. If not well prepared, they can dry out very quickly as they have very little fat content. For this recipe, I use skinless breast fillets, These are great served with salad, potato wedges or fried rice. You can select breast with bone and skin, but it will need a slightly longer time in the oven.
