Notes

The chilli flakes provide a good amount of heat in this recipe – if you are sensitive to spice then just add half of the chilli flakes to start, and check the heat level after removing the chicken breasts. Do not skimp on the oil as it is really important for adding flavour!

If you have a basil plant, scatter over a few leaves to serve.
