Method

1.Preheat oven to 180°C. Place chicken pieces in a roasting pan. Place lemon slices and garlic among chicken pieces. Sprinkle over thyme and dot 30g of butter over the top. Drizzle over oil, season with salt and pepper and bake in oven for 45-60 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
2.Place potatoes in a pan of cold salted water and bring to the boil. Cook potatoes until just soft (about 20 minutes). Remove pan from heat and drain off the water.
3.Bring a medium-sized pot of salted water to boil. Place broccoli in boiling water and after a minute add peas. Cook vegetables 2-3 minutes further or until broccoli is just soft. Remove pan from heat, drain off the water and add remaining butter and potatoes. Shake the pan to coat the vegetables.
4.Serve chicken and lemon slices with the vegetables.
