Directions

1

Lay the chicken fillets in a shallow baking dish after removing any excess fat.

2

Mix the fresh and dried chillies, garlic, lemon, half the olive oil, cinnamon, sultanas and pine nuts together in a small bowl. Pour the mixture over the chicken, coating it evenly, and leave to marinade in a cool place for 30 minutes.

3

Heat the rest of the oil in a pan. Add the chicken when the oil is hot and put on a high heat until the chicken begins to go golden brown. Repeat on the other side after about 10 to 15 minutes.

4

Pour the rest of the marinade into the pan and boil for 10 minutes. Season with the salt and pepper and garnish with the mint. Serve in the juice.
