Bash it chicken is a little coriander soy and honey chicken Dish I threw together and it's really tasty .

PEBBLES 'BASH IT' CHICKEN
2 chicken breasts
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp French mustard
1 tbsp chopped coriander ( frozen or fresh is fine)
2 tbsp soy sauce

slit the breasts, but not all the way through, to butterfly them . Cover with cling film and Bash with a meat tenderiser.
Mix together the coriander, mustard, honey and soy sauce, in a shallow dish, then place the chicken in to marinate. Rub all over and toss in sauce with your hands then Leave for 1 hr if possible.

If no time then leave while your potatoes/ veg are cooking.

Place chicken onto a baking tray and bake in oven for 10 mins or until cooked through. Or I have a halogen so do mine in that. Don't over cook though , needs to stay moist . Xx
