Cooking Time: 45 minutesPreperation Time: 15 minutes

Preparation

Begin by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F). Thoroughly clean the chicken leg and pat it dry. Season with your choice of spices. On a baking tray, arrange the chicken leg, and roast for approximately 45 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F). While the chicken is roasting, prepare your vegetables. Wash the broccoli and red bell peppers thoroughly. Cut the broccoli into florets and slice the bell peppers. Steam the broccoli for about 5-7 minutes and sauté the bell pepper slices lightly in a pan with a minimal amount of oil just until tender. Toast a slice of whole grain bread until it reaches your desired level of crunchiness.

Serving

Arrange the roasted chicken leg on a plate along with the steamed broccoli and sautéed red bell pepper slices. Serve with a slice of toasted whole grain bread on the side. Adjust seasoning on the vegetables as per taste.
