Ingredients
 

  • 500 g chicken thigh fillets, skinless & boneless
  • 1 lemon, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon rosemary, fresh or dried
  • 1 tablespoon parsley, fresh or dried
  • 5 cloves garlic, crushed
  • black pepper, freshly ground
  • salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 180 degrees celsius (160 degrees fan forced).
  • Sprinkle chicken thighs with rosemary, parsley, garlic, black pepper and salt. Place thighs into the oven bag with slices of lime on top.
  • Seal back shut and cut 3 slits into the top of the bag to let steam escape.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes.

Notes

  • Serve this with either mashed potatoes or rice with steamed asparagus or broccolini on the side.
  • If you want a thicker sauce, pour the juices into a small pot and add 1/4 cup chicken stock with 1 garlic clove crushed and 2 teaspoons of cornflour mixed with a little water. Don't forget to taste and season accordingly with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then serve with the chicken.
