Smoky Chicken Breast With Charred Veg and Chimichurri

Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7, then take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air

Chop your potatoes (skins on) into bite-sized pieces

Add the chopped potatoes to a baking tray with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper

Give everything a good mix up then put the tray in the oven for an initial 10 min

Chop your tomato[es] in half

Add your ground smoked paprika to a large bowl with your ground coriander, chicken stock mix, 1 tbsp [1 1/2 tbsp] [2 tbsp] olive oil, 1 tsp [1 1/2 tsp] [2 tsp] sugar and a very generous pinch of salt and pepper

Add the chicken breast portions and tomato halves to the bowl and give everything a good mix up – these are you marinated chicken breasts

Once the potatoes have had an initial 10 min, remove the tray from the oven and crush your potatoes slightly with a potato masher

Add the marinated chicken breasts to the tray

Return the tray to the oven for a final 15-20 min or until the chicken is cooked through (no pink meat!) and the potatoes are crispy – these are your smoky chicken breasts, roasted tomato & crispy roasties

Meanwhile, peel and finely dice your shallot[s]

Cut your red chilli[es] in half lengthways, deseed (scrape the seeds out with a teaspoon) and chop finely

Peel and grate (don't chop!) your garlic

Chop your parsley finely, including the stalks

Add the diced shallot to a small bowl with the chopped chilli (can't handle the heat? Go easy!), grated garlic and chopped parsley

Add 3 tbsp [4 1/2 tbsp] [6 tbsp] olive oil, red wine vinegar and a generous pinch of salt and give everything a good mix up - this is your chimichurri dressing

Soak your skewers in cold water (this prevents them from burning whilst cooking)

Top, tail and chop your courgette[s] in half lengthways, then cut in half widthways

Top, tail and chop your leek[s] in half lengthways, wash thoroughly, then cut in half widthways

Thread the chopped courgette and leek widthways onto the soaked skewers, alternating as you go – these are your veg skewers

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick with matching lid) with a drizzle of olive oil over a high heat

Once hot, add the veg skewers to the pan (flat-side down) with a pinch of salt and cook for 3-4 min or until charred

Once charred, add a splash of cold water to the pan, reduce the heat to medium and cook, covered, for 7-8 min or until the veg is tender – these are your charred veg skewers
