Serves 1-2 people. Recipe is easily doubled or tripled pending how many people you’re serving.

Tips:

• Save the juices from the chicken to pop over steamed vegetables or freeze and use in risotto or add to a stock

• Muck around with flavours that you enjoy. You could add garlic, lemon and chilli or ginger, lime and fish sauce or honey and mustard or ground cumin, coriander and garam masala

• Add different vegetables that will roast in 18 mins - zucchini, capsicum, onion, broccoli, corn, Brussels sprouts or green beans

• Enjoy!
