Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C. Cut the broccoli into florets (like small trees). Trim the courgette, then quarter lengthways. Chop into 2cm chunks. Halve, peel and thinly slice the red onion. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Zest and halve the lemon. Pop the lemon zest, garlic and Italian style herbs into a small bowl with the olive oil (see ingredients for amount), then mix well. Set aside.
Pop the broccoli, courgette and onion onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until the veg is tender and starting to char, 18-22 mins. Turn halfway through.
Meanwhile, heat a medium frying pan on medium heat (no oil). Once hot, add the flaked almonds and dry-fry, stirring regularly, until lightly toasted, 3-4 mins. TIP: Watch them like a hawk as they can burn easily. Transfer the toasted almonds to a small bowl, then pop the (now empty) pan on medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
Once hot, lay the chicken thighs flat in the pan. Season with salt and pepper and fry until browned on each side and cooked through, 13-15 mins. Turn every 2-3 mins. Pour over the lemon, garlic & herb oil then cook for 1 min more, turning the chicken to coat. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Meanwhile, combine the yoghurt, a squeeze of lemon juice and plenty of pepper in a small bowl. Mix well, then season to taste with salt. Cut the remaining lemon into wedges.
When everything is ready, share the chicken thighs between your plates with the roasted veg alongside. Finish with a drizzle of lemon yoghurt and a sprinkle of toasted almonds over the top. Serve with a lemon wedge for squeezing over. Enjoy!
