Preparation and cooking times
Ready in 30 mins
- Put a shallow, non-stick baking tray with 2 tbsp olive oil in a 220C/fan 200C/gas 7 oven to heat. Cook the potatoes in boiling water until just tender, about 5 minutes, then drain. Toss the potatoes in the hot oil, add the olives and the onion to the tray and season. Bake in the oven on the top shelf for 20 minutes until crisp and golden.
- Meanwhile, heat a griddle (chargrill) pan or heavy frying pan. Mix the thyme with 1 tbsp olive oil. Brush the chicken with the flavoured oil and season well. Put on the griddle and squeeze over the lemon quarters, then leave the lemons, cut-side down, on the griddle. Cook the chicken for about 3-4 minutes each side until grill-marked and cooked through.
- Serve the chicken with a squeeze of lemon juice, the roasties, and a dollop of mayonnaise.
