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!
Customer reviews
Review summary
Updated on July 2026- Flavour: The lemony caper butter was a highlight, though some found the zucchini and rocket salad quite acidic with the mustard and lemon combined.
- Ease of prep: Minimal prep is needed, and the pre-prepped chips make this a straightforward weeknight cook.
- Suggestions: A few extra capers boosted the flavour, and some customers suggested adding pine nuts to the zucchini and rocket salad. Spreading chips across two trays rather than one helped them cook more evenly and avoid sogginess.
- Portions: Some felt the chicken portion was on the smaller side, particularly when cooking for a larger group.
