This baked mint and coriander chicken is one of our family favourites. I have made it innumerable times, for family and friends at home and taken it as a contribution to joint parties. It is very succulent, full of fresh flavours and easy to make too!

I hadn’t made it in a while though and had promised the family to make some rolls with this chicken as the main filling. I decided to seize this as an opportunity to do a post and also record a video. But life had other plans in store and I was left with very little time to make them, let alone make notes and record a proper video. The rolls were made and devoured in record time. I had just a little left over to click pictures later. I did manage to click a few while making it and the daughter recorded a bit too. The video is not the most detailed, but it’s there if you want to get the idea. This recipe is a keeper and I couldn’t wait to share it with you, so here we go.

To check doneness-

This chicken does not need to brown all over to be done. So do not look for colouring to gage its doneness. Just check the inside; if it is cooked through remove from the oven.

Serving suggestions-

I filled some Indian flatbreads (parathas) with the chicken, some sliced and pan fried peppers and red onion (just enough to take the raw edge off) with a dash of lime, and a little Greek yogurt. This chicken can also be enjoyed on it’s own as a starter or snack; a dash of lime / lemon is all that is needed! Or add some to a sandwich!
