Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 2 lemons, one zested and juiced and one thinly sliced
  • 500g lean chicken breast, skin removed
  • 1 bunch baby broccolini, ends trimmed and washed
  • 4 tbsp Greek yoghurt

Method

Step 1:

Pre-heat the oven to 180°C on fan bake.

Step 2:

In a large bowl, mix together the oil, garlic, rosemary and lemon zest. Toss through the chicken breast, ensuring it’s coated thoroughly in the marinade.

Step 3:

Place a large, deep frying pan on a medium-high heat. Once hot, seal the chicken on both sides.

Step 4:

Add lemon juice to deglaze the pan and layer the lemon slices and broccolini over the chicken.

Step 5:

Place the pan into the oven and roast for 8 to 10 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.

Step 6:

Once cooled, portion evenly into lunch boxes with a dollop of Greek yoghurt.
