Tamborine Chicken is a delicious and easy to make chicken recipe that is perfect for a quick and healthy weeknight dinner. The dish is named after the Tamborine Mountain in Australia, which is known for its natural beauty and fresh produce. The chicken breasts are marinated in a flavorful blend of black peppercorns, gingerroot, garlic, soy sauce, and lime juice, which gives the dish a tangy and spicy kick. Roasting the chicken in the oven ensures that it stays moist and juicy on the inside, while the skin becomes crispy and golden. Serve this dish with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4.
2.	In a mortar and pestle, pound together the black peppercorns, gingerroot, and garlic until a paste is formed.
3.	Stir in the soy sauce and lime juice and zest, and mix well.
4.	Rub the chicken with the paste, making sure to coat each breast evenly.
5.	Place the chicken breasts into a baking dish and roast in the oven for 30-40 minutes or until cooked through.
6.	Serve with lime wedges on the side.
