Donna’s Zingy Chicken & Roast Veg

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts (or thighs if you prefer)
  • 1 orange (zest & juice)
  • 2 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp mild chilli powder (optional if you want a kick)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 red peppers, chopped
  • 2 courgettes, sliced into half-moons
  • 3 carrots, chopped
  • 2 red onions, cut into wedges
  • Salt & pepper

How to preprare

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C.
  2. In a small bowl, mix orange zest, orange juice, honey, paprika, garlic powder, chilli powder, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. Place chicken in a dish and spoon half the marinade over. Leave to sit for 10 minutes while you prep veg.
  4. Spread peppers, courgettes, carrots, and onions on a baking tray. Toss with the rest of the marinade.
  5. Roast veg for 15 minutes, then add chicken on top. Cook for another 20–25 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
  6. Serve chicken with the roasted veg, spooning over any tray juices.

Note

Chicken thighs add more flavour, but breasts keep calories lower. Swap courgettes for parsnips in winter for a heartier dish.
