Very easy to make and very tasty! The wife loves this one now! We roast potato's, sweet potato's and pumpkin and steam vegies to go with it.
I haven't had time to marinade the chicken overnight as yet, but it still turns out great tasting!

This was excellent! The chicken remained so moist. It would also be nice to slice the chicken and put in wraps with some tzatziki dressing and salad.

Something else.
You can pour the marinade into a large plastic bag, add the chicken breasts and then twist the top of the bag to close. This way, you can massage the marinade into the cuts without touching it with your hands, and it won't taint other things in the fridge.

I made this dish today and we really loved it. Beautiful flavours. I did it with crisped potatoes done in the oven with garlic and rosemary. Also included carrots and cauliflower.
