Get the spuds & chicken going

  • Heat your oven to 240ºC/fan 220ºC/gas 9.
  • Halve the potatoes and put them into a large ovenproof dish (you may need 2 dishes for 4 portions) along with the chicken. Scatter over half the smoked paprika & oregano, spritz with cooking spray and lightly season. Roast for 10 mins.

Add the veg

  • Meanwhile, dice the aubergine into 2cm chunks. Peel the onions, then cut each into 6 wedges. Dice the courgettes into 2cm chunks, and deseed the peppers and dice into 2cm squares.
  • Add the veg to the potatoes, mix well and cook for another 25 mins.

Make a saucy stock

  • Boil a half-full kettle. Dissolve the stock powder in 100ml boiled water (200ml for 4 portions) and stir in the garlic paste, passata and remaining paprika blend.

Plate up

  • Pour the stock mixture into the ovenproof dish (or dishes) and mix to coat the chicken, potatoes and veg. Roast for 5 mins, then serve.
