Serves: 4
Preparation: 15 minutes
Cooking: 45 to 50 minutes
Ingredients
- 600 g boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 500 g baby potatoes, halved
- 1 red capsicum, cut into chunks
- 1 zucchini, cut into thick half-moons
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- ½ cup pitted Kalamata olives (optional)
- 75 g feta, crumbled (optional)
- Lemon wedges and chopped parsley, to serve
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C fan-forced. Line a large roasting tray with baking paper.
- Add the potatoes to the tray. Toss with half the olive oil, half the garlic and half the oregano, then season with salt and pepper. Roast for 15 minutes.
- Coat the chicken with the remaining oil, garlic and oregano, plus the lemon zest and juice. Add the chicken, capsicum and red onion to the tray. Roast for 20 minutes.
- Add the zucchini and olives, if using. Turn the vegetables and roast for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the chicken reaches 75°C at its centre.
- Scatter over the feta and parsley, then serve with lemon wedges.
Tips and easy swaps
- Leave out the olives or feta if they are not to your taste.
- Cut the potatoes small enough to cook through and keep the zucchini pieces thick so they hold their shape.
- Cool and refrigerate any leftovers promptly for an easy next-day lunch.
