Lemon Coriander Chicken image

Found the original recipe in one of those supermarket magazines. (Don't ask me why I still buy them despite the fact that I have hundreds of recipes saved in my cookbooks here waiting to try.) Easy to prepare and great results make this a winner for me. The original calls for conventional (out of the jar) ground corriander. I like to toast my seeds and coarsely grind them as it adds a nice toasty flavor and rustic look to the dish. Do what works best for you. Please note preparation time does not include 3-24 hour marinading time.

This recipe was a disaster. The chicken was tough and the sauce was bland.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious.

This dish was a bit too sour for my taste, but I think that's because I used too much lemon. Next time I'll use less.
