Ingredients




2 chicken fillets, about 300 gr for 2 persons, cleaned, no skin, cut into smaller pieces, (the pieces cut 
1 full handful of fresh lemon thyme, washed & pad dry on kitchen paper/ You can ea
juice of 1 Sicilian lemon ( they smell amazingly fresh & sweet ) The skin isn't treatened with chemicals
half of the zest of the same lemon ( 1/2 )
3 fat garlic cloves, peeled & finely diced
5 tablespoons of a fruity EVOO
1 tablespoon heaped  of a good honey
grinds of black pepper
some sea salt flakes
To serve: steamed green beans & red onion slices fried & some new 
Preparation

1 Take a large Ziplock bag & place all of the ingredients for the marinade in it, except the chicken. Mix carefully in the bag with a spoon because you don't want to damage the plastic bag. Add a few grinds of black pepper & some sea salt flakes. 2 Add the chicken pieces. Close the bag and with the the help of your hands, massage the bag on the outside. Then, place the closed bag in a fitting bowl in case of leakage. Place in the fridge for about 3 to 4 hours. I marinated my chicken for 4 hours. From time to time, take the bag out of the fridge to massage the bag from the outside. Just before making dinner, take the bag out of the fridge. 3 When the rest of your dinner is prepared & ready, you can bake the chicken. Lift & drain the chicken with a skimmer but keep the marinade!!!! Take a large non stick pan on medium high heat & heat up. Pour a thin layer of the fruity EVOO in it. When hot & sizzling, add the chicken & fry for about 3 to 5 minutes or just when they are browned. Adjust the heat if necessary. When you turn the chicken in the pan, to fry the other side, pour the remaining marinade all over the chicken,...everything! Fry for about 2 to 3 minutes & the marinade will make everything caramelised a bit. It turns goldsen brown in colour. It smells amazing! 4 When everything is cooked through, serve on a plate with steamed green beans & fried red onion slices in the same fruity EVOO & with new boiled potatoes. Enjoy!!

I was experimenting in making the perfect marinade for chicken. Finaly, I came up with this!
Chicken pieces, without skin, are marinated for about 3 to 4 hours in a combination of fresh lemon thyme, zest of 1/2 Sicilian lemon, juice of the same lemon, garlic cloves, a fruity EVOO & honey. It is healthy too. This must be tasty, right?? Oooh,...yes!
