Marinade

Chicken
Heat the oil in a frying pan. Remove the chicken from the marinade, wipe away the marinade, set aside the remainder of the marinade. Place the chicken in the pan, brown for approx. 3 mins. on each side. Remove and set aside. Add the lemon slices to the same pan, fry for approx. 3 mins. Pour in the stock along with the reserved marinade, bring to the boil. Reduce the heat, mix the butter and flour with a fork, add while stirring. Return the chicken to the pan, cover and simmer over a low heat for approx. 10 mins. Add the peas, cook for approx. 5 mins. Plate up the chicken with the peas. Garnish with the dill, basil and spring onions.
