Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Arrange the chicken pieces, onion wedges, garlic, lemon slices, asparagus and peas in a roasting tin in a single layer, then sprinkle over the oregano, drizzle with the olive oil and pour over the stock. Give everything a good stir to mix well, then dot the butter over the chicken pieces and season well. Cover the whole tin with foil and bake for 30 mins.

  • step 2

    Remove the foil and bake for 20-30 mins more until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear, and the vegetables are tender.

  • step 3

    Heat the grill to high. Put the tin under the grill for a few minutes to crisp up the chicken skin, if needed, being careful not to let the asparagus catch. Serve straight from the tin, or on a platter, with crusty bread to mop up the juices.

This was very tasty but I put the asparagus, peas and some tenderstem broccoli in for only 15 mins. Put a mix of breasts and thighs in and both were nice and moist.

Very tasty! Would perhaps add some potatoes too, to bulk it out a little. Will be making this again for sure!

A lovely spring lunch. Add the asparagus and peas in the last 5-10 minutes of cooking and works with any sort of chicken- I used a mix of drumsticks and boneless thigh and breast. I did the potatoes separately as I thought they’d be too soggy and wanted the crunch of roasties.
