🍳 How to cook (1 serving):

Cooking Time: 30 minutesPreperation Time: 10 minutes

Roasted Chicken

Start by marinating the chicken piece in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and herbs. Roast in a preheated oven at 200°C (392°F) for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has a golden-brown exterior.

Roasted Potatoes

Toss potatoes in olive oil, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast alongside the chicken for about 20-25 minutes, until they are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Prep Fresh Vegetables

While the chicken and potatoes are roasting, wash and slice the radishes, cucumber, and tomatoes into bite-sized pieces. Arrange these fresh vegetables on the plate.

Pita Bread

Warm the pita bread in the oven for a couple of minutes until it is slightly crispy yet still soft.

Finish and Serve

Once the chicken and potatoes are done, assemble the plate. Start with the roasted chicken and potatoes, add the warmed pita bread, and finally encompass the dish with the fresh vegetables and red peppers. Serve immediately.
