  • 2. For the marinade, combine the lemon juice, olive oil and paprika. Cut each chicken breast through horizontally and marinate in a non-metal dish for at least 30 minutes.
  • 3. While the chicken is marinating make the relish. In a saucepan, with the lid on for 3-4 mins until softened, add the garlic and cook for a further min. Finally add the tomatoes sweetcorn and spices and simmer gently for 5 mins until the sauce is thickened. Season to taste and put to one side.
  • 4. Cook the chicken on a med hot barbecue for 4-5 mins on each side, depending on size, and check it's cooked through. There should be no pink flesh and the juices should run clear if you pierce it with a knife.
