Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 8. Boil a half-full kettle. Dissolve half the stock cube in a jug with 150ml boiling water (75ml for 1 person).

Step 2

Halve the potatoes lengthways. Thinly slice the onion into wedges. Place the veg into an ovenproof dish and toss with 1 tbsp oil, a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Place the chicken in a mixing bowl and coat with the romesco and peri peri seasoning. Place the chicken on top of the veg and pour in the stock. Bake for 25-30 mins, until cooked through.

Step 4

Cut the pepper into bite-sized chunks. Slice the courgette into 1cm thick discs. Rub with 1 tsp oil and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Heat a large griddle pan on medium-high heat. Griddle the veg for 2-3 mins, per side. Or, transfer onto a lined baking tray and roast for 12-15 mins, until soft.

Step 5

Check your chicken is cooked through by inserting a skewer into the thickest part of the meat; the juices should run clear. Cook for longer if necessary.

Step 6

Stir the veg through the chicken and serve.
