Harissa roast vegetables with chicken

This is the perfect opportunity to use up whatever vegetables you have to hand. When roasting, cut them into sizes that allow them all to finish cooking at approximately the same time. Spicy harissa paste gives a delightful flavour here; it is also great smothered over fish or lamb.

For the chicken

2	Boneless chicken breast (Main)
¼ cup	Natural yoghurt
2 Tbsp	Harissa paste (Main)
1 pinch	Salt and freshly ground black pepper

For the vegetables

5 cups	Vegetables, eg. aubergine, peppers, yams, red onion
2 Tbsp	Olive oil
1 Tbsp	Harissa
¼ cup	Fresh oregano
1	Lemon, halved (Main)

Directions

1. Preheat an oven to 180C. Line a baking tray with paper.
2. Flatten the chicken breasts between two pieces of baking paper until 1⁄2 cm thick. Place in a bowl and smother with the yoghurt, harissa, salt and pepper, mixing well. Marinate for at least 10 minutes.
3. Chop the vegetables roughly and place on the baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil, harissa and oregano, tossing to combine. Bake for 25 minutes. While they are cooking, pan-fry the chicken to give a little colour on each side, then add to the vegetables for the remaining 10 minutes or until cooked through.
4. Remove the tray from the oven and add a good squeeze of lemon juice.
5. Slice the chicken and serve on a platter with the remaining lemon. Pour over any chicken juices.
