PREP THE CHICKEN
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place a pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the chicken pieces until browned, 3-4 minutes per side. While the chicken is frying, drain the capers and olives, and roughly chop the dates.
ROASTY ROAST
In a baking dish, combine the vinegar, the drained olives, the onion wedges, the drained capers, the chopped dates, the juice of 1 lemon wedge, ½ the chopped oregano, the white wine, 30ml of water, and seasoning. Top with the browned chicken and roast until the chicken is cooked through, 15-20 minutes.
LE BAGUETTE
Butter the cut-side of the halved baguette or drizzle with oil. Place on a separate roasting tray, cut-side up, and pop in the hot oven. Bake until warmed through, 3-4 minutes.
SALAD CITY
Rinse the salad leaves. In a bowl, combine the rinsed salad leaves, the peas, a drizzle of olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice, and seasoning.
