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
  • Pull out a measuring jug, a medium bowl & a large frying pan

Get started

  • In the medium bowl, combine the turmeric with 1 tsp oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the chicken and turn to coat
  • Thinly slice the courgette into 1/2cm half-moons. Trim the broccoli
  • Heat the large frying pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for 4 mins per side, then transfer to the lined tray. Roast for 5 mins

Finish roasting

  • Finely chop the tarragon, dill and parsley
  • After 5 mins, add the broccoli to the chicken tray. Toss with 1/2 tsp oil, salt and pepper. Drizzle the honey over the chicken, turn to coat, then return to the oven for another 9-10 mins, until the chicken is cooked through and the broccoli is tender

Simmer the chickpeas

  • Reheat the frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the courgette and cook for 4-5 mins, until softened. Season with salt and pepper
  • Add the garlic paste and cook for 30 secs, then stir in the half jar of chickpeas (with their stock), three-quarters of the chopped herbs and 50ml water (25ml for 1 person). Bring to the boil and simmer for 4-5 mins, until thickened

Last bits & plate up

  • Check your chicken is cooked through by inserting a skewer into the thickest part of the meat; the juices should run clear. Allow to rest for a few mins, then slice into 2cm thick slices
  • Remove the chickpeas from the heat and stir in the yoghurt. Season to taste, then share between bowls, with the chicken and broccoli alongside. Sprinkle with the remaining herbs to finish
