Peppered Chicken - serves 4 - 20 pro points

This is the marinade I use most often. Delicious

Serves 4
2 large chicken breasts - skinless, boneless (14 pro points)
2 tblsp Olive Oil (6 pro points)
Juice of 1 lemon
2 tspn freshly ground black pepper
1 red chilli - seeds removed, finely diced ( or 1/2 tspn chilli powder)
2 tblsp fresh rosemary finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic finely diced
Mix all ingredients and marinate chicken for 2 hours.
Place breasts in med-hot pan - smooth side down and leave for about 5 minutes. When nicely golden underneath, turn over and reduce heat to medium.  Cook until firm (if you are not sure they are cooked through, then slice into the thickest bit of one breast to make sure there’s no pink left).
Remove from pan and rest for 4 minutes before slicing across the grain in a diagonal line.
Serve with corn fritters and a salad - or chopped, fresh tomatoes.
