Reader recipe: Citrus chicken

This recipe by Demi Nielson was a finalist in our reader competition, which called for recipes for a meal for 4 for $20. All 162 recipes are in our reader recipe section. Take a look. There are lots of good ideas there.

Demi says: I love this recipe. It's so tasty, quick and easy. Everyone I've made this for raves about it and wants the recipe. I originally found it in my old school's cookbook (The Essence of Dio) but have made it so much it's practically a family recipe now.

Bite judges say: What a surprise, this had just the right amount of creamy and lots of zing from the citrus. Smart enough for dinner parties and quick and easy enough to serve on weeknights.

Ingredients

4 small	Chicken breasts (Main)
1	Lemon, zest and juice (Main)
1 small	Orange, zest and juice (Main)
½ cup	Mayonnaise
½ cup	Natural yoghurt
2 Tbsp	Mango chutney
2 Tbsp	Wholegrain mustard

Directions

1. Heat the oven to 200C.
2. Put the chicken breasts in a baking dish and sprinkle the lemon and orange zest over them.
3. Mix together the lemon juice, orange juice, mayonnaise, yoghurt, chutney and mustard in a bowl.
4. Stir the mixture well and pour over the chicken evenly.
5. Bake the chicken uncovered for 30-45 minutes turning the chicken halfway through.
6. Remove from oven and serve. I like this with a potato or kumara mash or a green salad.
