600 g chicken or turkey breasts

2 tbsp oil

2 tbsp white wine

2 tbsp apple juice

1 tbsp lemon juice

Salt, freshly ground black pepper 1 tsp curry powder

A pinch of finely chopped rosemary A pinch of ground ginger

A pinch of cayenne pepper 1/2 tsp Tabasco sauce

Dice the meat into 2 x 2 cm pieces. Combine the rest of the ingredients apart from the butter, mix together well, and sprinkle over the meat. Turn the meat so it is well coated with the herbs and spices, and leave to stand for approx. 30 minutes. Place the gourmet plate on the turntable, and pre-heat for approx. 5 minutes at 450 W + Grill. Remove from the oven, melt the butter in the heated plate, then add the meat. Place the plate back on the turntable, and cook for approx. 4 minutes at 450 W + Grill. Turn the meat, and cook for a further 4 minutes at the same setting. Drain surplus liquid from the meat if necessary so that it browns well.
