Lemon and Herb Chicken and Veg (for a lazy day)

Lemon and Herb Chicken and Veg

Most days I am raring to cook up a storm. Other days? Well they are few and far between but I do get very lazy. In the absence of quick meals such as noodles or toast, I have to formulate a tasty dish that requires minimal effort. I made this lemon and herb chicken with shockingly low levels of energy and next to no exertion. 

INGREDIENTS

2 Sweet Potatoes
10 Cherry Tomatoes
1 head of Broccoli
6 Skinless Chicken Drumsticks
2 Lemons or 1/4 mug of Lemon Juice
Some Salt, Italian Spice, Parsley and Rosemary
3 cloves crushed Garlic
Olive Oil
Crushed Peppercorns
2 tablespoons of Honey


METHOD

1)     Marinade the chicken by sprinkling the seasoning, the garlic, herbs, honey and the lemon juice.
2)     Add 3 tablespoons of olive oil.
3)     Mix and Leave to stand.

4)     Wash the sweet potato and chop into blocks the size of half a golf ball- no need to peel, that requires too much energy and besides the skin is healthy.
5)      Separate the broccoli.
6)     Mix the sweet potato, broccoli and cherry tomatoes together and mix with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and salt and pepper for taste.
7)     Line a tray with foil and preheat the oven at 200 degrees Celsius or 2/3 of heat.
8)     Place chicken on the tray and add the vegetables around the chicken.
9)     Pour the remaining lemon juice marinade on the food.
10)   Cover tray with foil and grill for 1 hour.
11)   Open foil and brown the chicken and vegetables.
12)   ENJOY!
