Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
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 free range chicken thighs and tomato halves to the bowl and give everything a good mix up – these are you marinated chicken thighs

Once the potatoes have had an initial 10 min, remove the tray from the oven and crush the potatoes slightly with a potato masher
Add the marinated chicken thighs to the tray
Return the tray to the oven for a final 22-25 min or until the chicken is cooked through (no pink meat!) and the potatoes are crispy – these are your smoky chicken thighs, 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

Serve the smoky free range chicken thighs with the roasted tomato, crispy roasties and charred veg skewer to the side
Drizzle the chimichurri dressing over everything
Enjoy!
