Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Put the potatoes into a large saucepan of boiling salted water; cook for 5 mins. Drain well, then put in a large roasting tin with the courgettes and green beans; toss together.
  2. Put the chicken breasts between 2 sheets of clingfilm and use a rolling pin to bash to a thickness of roughly 1cm. Put the chicken on top of the veg in the tin along with the tomatoes.
  3. Scatter over the lemon zest, drizzle with the oil and season. Cook on the top shelf of the oven for 20 mins, or until the chicken is cooked through with no pink meat showing. Mix the stock and lemon juice, then pour over and cook for a further 2-3 mins.

Tip: Reduce the salt by omitting the stock cube and mixing the lemon juice with boiling water.
