1 tsp salt

Arrange chicken, potatoes, zucchini, peppers, olives and garlic in a single layer in a large roasting dish. Add stock.

Chef's Tip
This recipe is easily halved for 2 people.
For a great antipasto mix, bake everything except the chicken, potatoes and stock in an 150°C oven for about 40 minutes. Cool, then store in a jar in the fridge – delicious with bread or tossed through pasta or a salad.
