Grilled spiced chicken breast

This Grilled Spiced Chicken Breast is made with Ras el Hanout spice mix, which adds a lovely aroma and flavour to the bland chicken. The baking part can be made in advance, so it’s perfect for dinner parties (fits in a Middle-eastern, North- African menu) or for summer barbecues. Serve with side dishes, salads of your choice.
