Tips 

  • If you have an oven tray that is large enough you can cook the potatoes, brussels and chicken on one tray.

  • If you’re making the whipped feta in a blender instead of a food processor you may need to add a touch of lemon juice or some olive oil to get it to blend.

Sumac, lemon chicken

  • 3 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lemon (zest)

METHODMethod

Add the chicken to this tray and pop in the oven after the potatoes have been roasting for 15 minutes. Cook for 25 minutes until the chicken has cooked through and the brussles are golden brown and crispy.

  3. To make the whipped feta, simply add the yoghurt and feta to a food processor or blender; blend until smooth and creamy.
