Baby Roasties

  • 600g baby potatoes
  • 1½ teaspoons Greek spices
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Oregano-Baked Chicken

  • 550g chicken breasts
  • Zest and juice of ½ lemon
  • 2 tablespoons oregano leaves, roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons GF mayonnaise

Dressing

  • Zest and juice of ½ lemon
  • 2 teaspoons GF vinegar (e.g. white wine, red wine, cider)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon oregano leaves, roughly chopped

Greek Salad

  • 1 capsicum
  • ½ telegraph cucumber
  • 2 tomatoes
  • ½ red onion (optional, adults)

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper. Preheat BBQ hot plate or grill to high (if using). Toss potatoes with a drizzle of oil on prepared tray and season. Roast for about 25 minutes, until golden and tender. In a small bowl, combine Greek spices and olive oil and set aside.
  2. While potatoes roast, pat chicken dry and cut into steaks. To do this, place your hand flat on top of chicken breast and use a knife to slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. Season wand set aside.
  3. Mix remaining oregano-baked chicken ingredietns with a pinch of salt in a small bowl and evenly coat chicken. When roasties are golden and tender, remove tray from oven and push potatoes to one side. Crush potatoes lightly with the back of a fork and drizzle with Greek spice/oil mix.
  4. Lay chicken on other side of tray. Return to oven and cook for about 10 minutes, until chicken is just cooked through.
  5. While chicken cooks, whisk all dressing ingredients together in a large bowl. Dice capsicum, cucumber and tomatoes 2cm and finely dice red onion (if using). Toss veggies in bowl with dressing and season to taste. Crumble over feta.
  6. To serve, pile baby roasties onto plates and top with oregano-baked chicken and Greek salad on the side.
