Ingredients

  • 50 g Parsley Leaves
  • 500 g Chicken Whole
  • - Olive Oil
  • 20 g Oregano
  • - Baby Tomatoes
  • 2 pcs Zucchini
  • 100 g Lemon
  • 1 pc Broccoli
  • 1 kg Basmati Rice
  • 100 g Unsalted Butter
  • 100 g Salt
  • 50 g Black Pepper Powder
  • 52 g Paprika Powder

Instructions

  1. 1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and prepare a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. 2. In a bowl, mix olive oil, salt, black pepper, oregano, and paprika. Rub the mixture evenly over the chicken thighs and place them on the prepared baking tray, skin-side up.
  3. 3. Arrange the cherry tomatoes, broccoli florets, and zucchini slices around the chicken. Drizzle the vegetables with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  4. 4. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken skin is golden and crisp, and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 75°C (165°F). The vegetables should be tender but still slightly crisp.
  5. 5. While the chicken and vegetables are roasting, prepare the herb butter by mixing softened butter with chopped parsley, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a small bowl.
  6. 6. Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. During this time, warm the cooked white rice if necessary.
  7. 7. To assemble, divide the rice evenly between serving bowls. Top with roasted vegetables and chicken. Add a dollop of herb butter on each chicken thigh, letting it melt into the dish.
  8. 8. Serve immediately and enjoy this hearty, flavorful meal.
