Roast chicken with chickpeas, sweet potato and herbed yoghurt
- 1 whole chicken (approx 1.5kg)
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1 lemon (juice and zest of)
- 5 cloves garlic (crushed)
- 2 tsp flakey salt
- 1 1/2 tsp sumac
- 1 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1 can chickpeas (rinsed and drainer)
- 400 grams sweet potato (cut into 4cm pieces)
- parsley to garnish
Herbed Yoghurt
- 3/4 cup greek yoghurt
- 1/2 lemon (juice of)
- small handful chopped parsley
- 1 tsp flakey salt
- 1 clove garlic (crushed)
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees celsius.
In a small bowl place the olive oil, salt, lemon zest and juice, garlic, sumac and paprika and stir well to combine.
Place the chicken in an oven proof dish. Arrange the sweet potato around the chicken and sprinkle over the chickpeas. Pour 3/4 of the mixture over the chicken, sweet potato and chickpeas. Using a spoon or your clean hands, give the sweet potato and chickpeas a toss and rub the spiced oil into the chicken to make sure everything is nicely coated.
Put the dish in the oven (it doesn’t need to be covered) and bake for 45 minutes. Take the dish out and pour the remaining spiced oil over the chicken, sweet potato and chickpeas and give the sweet potato and chickpeas a toss to check they aren’t sticking to the bottom.
Place it back in the oven and bake for a further 30-40 minutes depending on the weight of your chicken.
