Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper
  • Boil a half-full kettle
  • Pull out a medium ovenproof dish, 2 medium bowls, a measuring jug & a grater

Roast the potatoes & marinate the chicken

  • Cut the potatoes into 2cm wedges. Place the wedges onto the lined baking tray, sprinkle with half the oregano and toss with 1 tsp oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast for 25-30 mins, until soft and golden
  • Finely chop or grate the garlic. Halve the lemon
  • In a medium bowl, combine the sundried tomato paste, garlic, remaining oregano, a squeeze of lemon juice and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the chicken and turn to coat

Add the veg

  • Cut the onion into 1cm wedges. Dice the courgette into 2cm chunks
  • Dissolve the stock powder in the jug with 100ml boiling water (50ml for 1 person)
  • Add the veg to the medium ovenproof dish and toss with 1 tsp oil, a pinch of salt and pepper. Lay the chicken flat on top and roast for 16 mins

Finish roasting

  • Meanwhile, finely slice the olives. Halve the tomatoes
  • After 16 mins, pour the stock mixture into the ovenproof dish, ensuring the chicken thighs is flat on the top, and cook for a further 6-8 mins, until the chicken is cooked through

Build the salad

  • To the other medium bowl, combine a good squeeze of lemon juice with 1 tsp oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the olives and tomatoes
  • When everything's ready, toss the rocket and pumpkin seeds through the dressing

Plate up

  • Check your chicken is cooked through by inserting a skewer into the thickest part of the meat; the juices should run clear
  • Share the veg between plates, topped with the chicken. Serve the wedges and salad alongside
  • Spoon over any remaining sauce from the dish and serve with the remaining lemon, cut into wedges
