    Cook's tips

    The chicken may be marinated for up to 24 hours in advance before cooking. The dish may also be frozen once cooked but should be completely thawed before reheating.

    Variation

    The recipe may also be made using lamb steaks instead of chicken, in which case add 15 minutes to the cooking time.
