CHICKEN WITH LEMON AND HERBS

The herbs can be changed according to what is available; for example, parsley or thyme could be used instead of tarragon and fennel.

INGREDIENTS
4 tablespoons butter
2 scallions, white part only, finely chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
1 tablespoon chopped fresh fennel
juice of 1 lemon
4 chicken thighs
salt and black pepper
lemon slices and herb sprigs, to garnish

SERVES 2

1. Preheat the broiler to medium. In a small saucepan, melt the butter, then add the scallions, herbs, lemon juice and seasoning.

2. Brush the chicken generously with the herb mixture, then broil for 10—12 minutes, basting frequently with the herb mixture.

3. Turn over and baste again, then cook for another 10—12 minutes, or until the chicken juices run clear.

4. Serve garnished with lemon and herbs and with any remaining herb mixture.
