- 30 g Extra virgin olive oil
- 40 ml Juice of 1 lemon approx. 40g
- 3 –4 garlic cloves minced
- 20 g mustard

Instructions
- Prepare the marinade – In a large bowl, combine yoghurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, mustard, honey, sesame seeds, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Marinate the chicken – Add chicken thighs to the bowl, massage the marinade into the meat, cover with cling film, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for best flavour).
- Preheat the oven – Set to 200°C (400°F).
- Prep the vegetables – Wash and chop vegetables into similar-sized pieces for even cooking.
- Pre-roast the chicken (optional) – Place chicken on a parchment-lined baking tray and roast for 15–20 minutes.
- Toss vegetables in leftover marinade – Mix the vegetables in the same bowl used for the chicken, coating well.
- Final roast – Add vegetables to the tray with chicken, sprinkle with thyme, and roast for another 30–35 minutes until chicken is cooked through and golden, and vegetables are tender.
- Serve – Sprinkle with fresh parsley and enjoy with bread or a fresh salad.
Notes
For chicken breasts, reduce cooking time and add them later in the baking process.
Swap in seasonal vegetables based on availability.
Serve with wholegrain gluten-free bread to soak up the juices, or with a fresh Greek salad.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
