Method

  1. 1Preheat the oven to 200 °C / 180 °C fan / Gas 6.
  2. 2Toss the potato wedges in 1 tbsp of olive oil, the garlic granules, and a little seasoning. Spread on one half of a large roasting tray.
  3. 3Place the chicken on the other half of the tray, brush with the remaining olive oil, and sprinkle with the dried herbs and a little salt and pepper.
  4. 4Roast for 20 minutes, then add the courgette and pepper to the tray around the potatoes and return to the oven for a further 20 - 25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through (juices run clear) and the vegetables are tender.
  5. 5Rest the chicken for 5 minutes before serving.

Swap it up: any firm vegetables work well - carrots, red onion or sweet potato all roast nicely.

Batch tip: roast an extra tray and keep the leftovers for lunches the next day.
