Cooking Steps

1
  • Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced.
  • Slice zucchini into thick rounds. 
  • Place on a lined oven tray.
  • Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. Bake until tender, 20-25 minutes. Remove tray from oven and allow to cool slightly.
2
  • Meanwhile, place potato fries on a second lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat.
  • Bake until tender, 20-25 minutes.

TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide between two trays.

3
  • When the fries have 15 minutes remaining, zest lemon to get a pinch and slice into wedges. 
  • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Cook chicken thigh, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 10-14 minutes.
  • In the last minute, add capers, lemon zest, the butter and a good squeeze of lemon juice, gently turning chicken to coat. Season.

TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.

4
  • In a large bowl, combine Dijon mustard, a generous squeeze of lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil. Add cooled zucchini and rocket. Toss to combine and season to taste.
  • Divide seared chicken, roasted zucchini salad and potato fries between plates.
  • Spoon any remaining lemony caper butter over chicken to serve. Enjoy!
