Steps to make Mexican Lime Chicken

1	Combine marinade	2
In a mixing bowl, whisk 2 tablespoons of olive oil with 1 teaspoon of crushed coriander seeds, 1 teaspoon of grated lime zest, ½ teaspoon of each paprika and ½ teaspoon of light muscovado sugar until combined.
2	Marinate chicken breasts	30
In a baking dish, pour the prepared marinade over the 2 chicken breasts and coat well then squeeze some juice from a lime over the chicken. Cover the dish with some plastic wrap and set aside for 25-30 minutes to marinate.
3	Prepare for roasting	3
Once marinated, place 1-2 lime slices underneath the skin of each chicken breast and season with some salt and pepper, to taste. Add 6 unpeeled garlic cloves and 2 fresh red chilis, scattered around the baking dish.
4	Preheat oven	5
Preheat the oven to 375 °F (190 °C/gas 5/fan oven 170 °C).
5	Roast	30
Roast in the preheated oven, uncovered, for about 30-35 minutes until the chicken is still soft but cooked through and no longer pink.
6	Serve
Enjoy hot and serve with a salad and/or salsa, if you wish!
