Mmmm Moroccan Marinade

Makes enough marinade for 340g / 12oz of chicken breast (12 blocks protein)

Ingredients
1 red chilli, seeded and finely chopped
1 Tsp dried chilli flakes
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Juice 1/2 lemon
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tsp cinnamon
2 Tbsp jumbo sultanas / raisins
2 Tbsp pine nuts
Handful fresh mint, roughly chopped

1) Mix everything together apart from the mint and pour over chicken breast cut into bite sized pieces. Make sure chicken is well coated.
2) Leave to marinade for an hour or so (although on occasions I have left it much longer and also barely 15 mins and it still works).
3) Remove the chicken and cook in a shallow pan until golden brown (you may need to add a splash more oil for this). Just before it's done chuck in the marinade and let it sizzle until pine nuts are slightly toasted. Turn off the heat, season with black pepper and add the mint.
