  1. READY THE ROAST!

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel and place on a roasting tray with the halved baby potatoes. Coat in oil, the thyme leaves, ½ of the roast rub, and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes, shifting halfway. Place the broccoli pieces, baby tomatoes, and 1 lemon wedge on a separate roasting tray. Coat in oil, the remaining roast rub, and seasoning to taste.

  2. MAKE THE DRESSING & TOSS THE SALAD

    Squeeze the juice of ½ a lemon wedge into a small bowl. Add in ½ a tsp of a sweetener of choice, ½ of the chopped basil, and 1 tbsp of olive oil. Whisk until well combined and season. Place the rinsed green leaves, cucumber half-moons, and sliced radish in a salad bowl. Toss through the basil dressing until coated, and set aside.

  3. VEGGIE TIME

    When the roast has been in for 10 minutes, pop the tray of veg in the oven and cook for 15-20 minutes until the broccoli is charred and the tomatoes are blistered.

  4. CRISPY CHICKY

    When the veg is cooked, remove from the oven. Remove the lemon wedge from the tray and set aside to cool slightly. Turn the oven up to the highest setting and grill the chicken and potatoes for the remaining roasting time until the chicken skin is crispy. Watch closely to make sure nothing burns! Remove from the oven on completion. Squeeze the juice from the roast lemon over the tray of veg.

  5. ALL ABOARD THE DINNER TRAIN!
