This is a Low fat recipe by Delia smith. No need for oil the chicken is moist and tender and great flavour. Good served with a fresh coriander (cilantro) chutney. I served mine with a low fat coleslaw, boiled rice cooked in vegetable stock with fresh coriander and spring onions and a vegetable curry.
