Method

Step 1.

Preheat the fan-forced oven to 190°.

Place the chicken chops into a bowl and season with salt and pepper.

Using a mortar and pestle, crush the garlic with a sprinkle of salt. Add the chilli paste and continue to crush. Slow and steady pour in the olive oil and bring to a paste using circular motions.

Step 2.

Add the garlic chilli paste to the chicken chops and toss to coat evenly, massaging all over. Add the dried herbs and lemon. Mix well.

Step 3.

Arrange the marinated chicken chops in a baking dish in one layer. Bake for 45 -50 minutes or until cooked.
