By Phillippa Cheifitz

Easy
15 minutes
10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 portions chicken breast, skin on
  • Olive oil
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Basil leaves, to garnish
  • For the sauce

  • ¾ cup smooth organic peanut butter
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1/3 cup orange juice
  • ½ cup packed basil leaves, shredded
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.

2. If the chicken is on the bone, remove and keep the bone for making broth or stock. Moisten with olive oil and season with salt.

3. In a nonstick pan over a low heat, cook gently until the skin is crisp and golden.

4. Turn and place, skin-side up, in the oven for 5 minutes or until just done and still moist. Season with black pepper.
Serve with the peanut sauce and garnish with basil leaves.

5. To make the sauce: Whisk together the peanut butter, garlic and citrus juices. Stir in the basil and season.

Cook’s note: Serve with a salad of shredded cucumber and carrot with lemon juice and sunflower oil.
