1. Pre-heat the oven to 200°C, 425°F, Gas 7.

Remove the roasting tray from the oven and add the courgettes, red pepper and garlic cloves. Place the chicken on top and drizzle with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Add stock / water to the bottom of the roasting tray and return to the oven on a high shelf for 20 minutes or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked.
