POLOKWANE – Like most combinations, lemon and garlic work very well with chicken as it adds a tart flavour.
Basil, the herb used in this recipe, is considered one of the healthiest herbs. It’s best when fresh, exuding a sweet, earthy aroma that indicates not only the promise of pleasantly pungent flavor, but an impressive list of nutrients.
