''Looks burnt''

5/5 

But it wasn't - just very caramelised. 😎

{{RecipeIngredients
| 2 skinless & boneless [[Chicken|chicken]] breasts
| [[Juice]] of one [[Lemon|lemon]] (see method)
| A good 3 tablespoons of [[Extra virgin olive oil|extra virgin olive oil]]
| 5 [[Clove|cloves]] [[Garlic crushed|garlic crushed]]
| [[Salt]] & [[Pepper|pepper]]
}}
===Method===

'''Prepare [[Chicken|chicken]]'''
{{RecipeMethod
| Slash [[Chicken|chicken]] breasts across about 5 times. Make the cuts fairly deep because you want the [[Marinade|marinade]] to really penetrate.
| Place in a shallow bowl
}}
'''[[Marinade]]'''
{{RecipeMethod
| First [[Microwave|microwave]] the whole [[Lemon|lemon]] for about 15 seconds. This will enable you to extract the maximum amount of [[Juice|juice]]
| Cut the [[Lemon|lemon]] in half and squeeze the [[Juice|juice]] out into a small mixing bowl removing any pips
| Add the [[Oil|oil]] and the Crushed [[Garlic|garlic]] and season generously
| Mix well and pour over the [[Chicken|chicken]] breasts
| Cover with [[Clingfilm|clingfilm]] and place in the [[Fridge|fridge]]
| After half an hour turn the [[Chicken|chicken]] over in the [[Marinade|marinade]], re-cover and put back in the [[Fridge|fridge]].
| Turn [[Chicken|chicken]] over after half an hour (the chicken needs at least 1 hour of [[Marinating|marinating]])
| Heat a smallish [[Frying pan|frying pan]] over a medium heat and when hot put the [[Chicken|chicken]] in the pan cut-side-up together with half of the [[Marinade|marinade]]
| Cook for 10 minutes [[Basting|basting]] regularly with the [[Marinade|marinade]]
| Check the underside of the [[Chicken|chicken]] after about 10 minutes. If nicely [[Brown|brown]], turn it over and put in the rest of the [[Marinade|marinade]].
| Give this side 10 minutes, again [[Basting|basting]] regularly.
| The [[Lemon juice|lemon juice]] will evaporate leaving a nice [[Brown|brown]] sticky residue on the [[Meat|meat]]. The [[Oil|oil]] will separate.
| Give the [[Meat|meat]] a little cut in the middle and check that it's not pink.
| Stir in 3 tablespoons of [[oven dried tomatoes]] and a big handful of chopped [[basil]] leaves.
}}
===Serving suggestions===
Serve immediately with [[Croquette potatoes|croquette potatoes]] and [[Peas|peas]] with the juices and [[Oil|oil]] from the pan poured over
