Serves 4
Ingredient
4 chicken thighs
12 baby potatoes ( scrubbed and cut into 4 wedges)
1 butternut squash (chopped into pieces approximately double the size of the potato wedges)
250g green bean (top and tailed but left whole)
4 lemon slices
2 tbsp of rapeseed oil
2 tsp of lemon and thyme Dorset sea salt
0.5 tsp of garlic Dorset sea salt
0.5 tsp ground Black pepper
1- Preheat the oven to 200C, 400F, or gas mark 6
2- In a large mixing bowl add your 2 tablespoons of rapeseed oil, 1.5 tsp of lemon & thyme Dorset sea salt, 0.5 tsp of garlic Dorset sea salt and some freshly ground black pepper then mix together.
3- Then add all your vegetables, apart from the green beans, to your bowl and mix so that all the vegetables get a good coating of oil and salt. Then spoon your vegetables onto a large baking tray.
4- Place the green beans in the mixing bowl you have just taken the vegetables out of, mix them around in the bowl to give them a light coating of oil, and leave them to one side.
5- On your baking tray make gaps in the vegetables to add your chicken thighs.
You want to put the chicken thighs skin side up. Sprinkle a little of the lemon and thyme Dorset sea salt on the top of each of the chicken thighs.
6- Place the tray in the oven and roast for 30 mins. Make sure you turn your vegetables after 15 minutes so they brown evenly.
7- Once the 30 minutes are up remove your roasting tray from the oven and place your green bean on top of the vegetables. Add a slice of lemon on top of each chicken thigh to keep your chicken moist before returning to the oven for the final 10 minutes of cooking.
8 Make sure the chicken is cooked and the potatoes are soft. In the middle, before serving with or without gravy it's your choice.
