Step 3

Parboil the baby potatoes for 10 minutes, drain, then toss with olive oil, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper. Roast alongside the chicken for 25–30 minutes until golden.

Toss tomatoes and cucumber with parsley, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Serve fresh.

Step 5

Plate the chicken with roasted potatoes and salad. Finish with a squeeze of lemon and extra fresh herbs.
