Spiced Chicken

Could also be called "Diet chicken" - at least I use it as part of my diet, but the rest of my family seem to like it as well.

Ingredients
2 servings

• 1 chicken breast, skin removed, cut in two pieces
  
• 1 tablespoonful of oil (olive oil preferable)
  
• 1-2 tablespoonfuls of vinegar
  
• 1 tablespoonful of fresh ginger (1 teaspoonful dried)
• 2 cloves of garlic, peeled
• 1 teaspoonful ground (or just crushed) mustard seeds
• 1 teaspoonful dried paprika (not hot)
• half a small hot pepper (chili or other) - optional
• salt and pepper to taste
  

Preparation

Put all ingredients, except for the chicken, in a small pot over a low fire, until heated and steaming. Add the chicken and stir to coat with the mixture. Cover and let cook over low heat (barely boiling), until the meat is tender (about 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the chicken's age and exercise, more for free range chicken) and the garlic can be crashed with the back of a spoon. Stir once or twice and watch that it does not dry completely. If it does, add a little water and lower the heat.
The meat should be left with some dark colored gravy.
Serve with whatever you like: salad for a strict diet, else rice or potatoes.
