Method

1

Gather your ingredients and preheat the oven to 240°C or 220°C fan.

2

Heat ¼ of the oil in a heavy frying pan over a medium high heat and cook the chicken thighs skin side down for 5-7 minutes until the skin is lightly golden and crispy.

3

In the meantime, add the cherry tomatoes, black olives, red peppers, oregano, red onion, lemon and courgette into a large roasting tray, drizzle with remaining oil and season with salt and pepper.

4

Mix together smoked paprika, garlic granules and honey with a pinch of salt.

5

Pop the chicken thighs on top of the vegetables skin side up and transfer to the preheated oven. Cook for 20 minutes then drizzle with spiced honey. Return to the oven and cook for another 10-15 minutes until the veg is tender and the chicken is cooked through.

6

Serve topped with crumbled feta

Spot on! Did add some garlic cloves, unpeeled, just because I add garlic to practically everything! Will definitely cook again and have couscous on the side.

Dawn 2 weeks ago

A real success fresh and tasty with the lemon will definitely cook again

Gypsy 2 weeks ago

This tastes fabulous! I'm not a fan of olives, so I replaced them with fresh asparagus and at the last minute I completely forgot the feta! However, I'm stoked that I batch cook because I'm looking forward to having this again. Thanks TDK team - great job!

Fabulous! The honey dressing is amazing and the roasted lemon when squeezed with a bit of it is great

Loved this - used a chicken seasoning to lift the chicken while it cooked and served it with wild rice to soak up the juices

This was delicious. Full of flavour.

Used boneless chicken thighs, and roasted jar peppers - lovely and tasty recipe

Will 3 months ago

This was surprisingly good. Not a feta cheese guy so I didn't add it at the end but was still decent. If you make a single serving double the sauce, trust me.

I was excited to try this especially since I had all the ingredients on hand. It was absolutely delicious and I will definitely make it again. I ended up using 2 large pans for better roasting and finished it off with a fresh squeeze of lemon.

Hilary 4 months ago

Very pleasant seasoning / flavourings, not overpowering. Left out the olives and used chicken breast on this occasion, but I’ll add some aubergine next time.

Amazingly simple prep work but somehow the veggies and seasonings compliment each other so well, it’s full of flavor and deeply satisfying. I’ll keep this one in regular rotation

I'm not keen on olives but included them anyway.
The meal was absolutely delicious and I will definitely be making it again!

Pauline 10 months ago

Honey sweetness, warmth of spice, roasted veg and olives. Loved the idea of crumbled feta on top. Delish!

Chanon 10 months ago

Excellent recipe, quick simple and tasty. I personally would add the tomatoes when I put the honey mixture on the chicken to stop them completely cooking down to mush.

Joanna 11 months ago

Loved the flavour. Never cooked lemon with roast veg before - game changer! Added some steamed tenderstem broccoli when I served the dish. Think this would work with white fish too.

Anita 1 year ago

This is a real winner, especially as I usually have carb heavy meals, loads a chips, rice or pasta. This is a real change for me and so far, I’m loving it all. Just made another overnight oats recipe too!
