Ingredients

    2 Chicken Breasts, no skin, approx 250 grams for two
    A large Potato per serving
    Turmeric, ground, 2 tsp
    One lemon - the zest and the juice
    Cumin seed, 1 tsp
    Cilantro, about 5 sprigs per serving
    One red bell pepper
    One yellow bell pepper
    Ginger Root, 10 slices cut into match sticks
    Olive Oil, 3 tsp (I often use chili infused olive oil if I have it in the cupboard)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas 6. Peel a large potato per serving, cut them into 2.5cm/1 inch cubes and put them into a pan of cold, salted water. Bring to the boil, simmer for a few minutes, drain and allow to steam in a colander.

Put a heaped teaspoon of turmeric into a bowl and add the zest of 1 lemon, half a teaspoon of ground cumin, 5 sprigs of chopped fresh coriander, a quarter of a red pepper, roughly chopped, and a 2.5cm/1 inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and finely sliced into matchsticks. Cut 3 slices off the lemon and set aside. Squeeze the juice from the remainder of the lemon into the bowl. Shake the potatoes up in the colander and add them to the bowl with 1 chicken breast.

Remove the chicken, put the potatoes into the tray in one layer, and top with the lemon slices and the chicken. Drizzle with 3 teaspoons of olive oil and cook in the middle of the oven for 25 to 35 minutes.
