Ingredients
- 7 oz carrots 200g, around 4 large
- 15 oz potatoes 425g, new potatoes are probably best but as you have/prefer
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
For chicken
- 2 lb chicken thighs bone-in/on the bone
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice approx ½ lemon
- ½ teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon paprika or more
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cloves garlic or 3 if smaller
To finish
- 3 oz green beans 85g
- 2 tablespoon parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F/200C.
- Peel or scrub the carrots and cut into lengths around 2-3in/5-7cm long. Cut the potatoes into similar-sized pieces (I left skin on but peel if you prefer).
- Toss the carrots and potatoes with the 2tbsp oil, ½tsp paprika and ½tsp salt in a large baking dish/casserole and roast in the oven for around 15-20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toss the chicken thighs with the lemon juice and zest, 1tbsp olive oil, ½tsp paprika - more if you'd like a little more of the taste -, ½tsp salt and sliced-up garlic cloves in a bowl.
- Trim the ends off the beans and cut any long ones into slightly shorter lengths.
- After the carrots and potatoes have had around 15-20min, add the beans on top followed by the chicken.
- Roast for another approx 30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through (it may need a little more) and the vegetables are tender. Sprinkle over the parsley and serve - don't forget to spoon over the liquid at the bottom of the pan, it's delicious!
- Note: The beans will still be a little crunchy but personally I like that. If you'd prefer them much softer, then pre-steam or boil them (or cook separately)
