  1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Scrub and chop the new potatoes into quarters and place on a large baking tray with the chicken thighs. Drizzle with 1 tbsp of olive oil, season with sea salt and black pepper and toss to coat, then spread out in an even layer with the chicken skin-side up. Roast for 30 mins, then remove from the oven.
  2. Trim the spring onions, finely chop the green parts and set aside. Roughly chop the white parts and add to the roasting tray. Trim the cauliflower and broccoli, chop the stalks and break up the florets, adding to the tray as you go. Thickly slice one half of the lemon, add to the tray and toss everything together. Making sure the chicken is skin-side up, return the tray to the oven and roast for a further 20 mins until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is golden.
  3. Meanwhile, finely chop most of the dill and place in a small bowl with the yogurt and reserved spring onion. Squeeze in the juice from the remaining lemon half, mix well and season with salt and pepper.
  4. To serve, take the roasting tray straight to the table, scatter over the remaining dill, drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and serve with the herby yogurt and crusty bread, if you like – delicious!
