Method

step 1

Cut the potatoes into large wedges, then toss well in a large bowl with 2 tbsp of the olive oil and some salt. Spread the wedges out on a baking tray.
step 2

Fry the onion and garlic in the remaining olive oil over a low heat until soft and translucent. Add the tomatoes, butter beans, and some seasoning. Simmer for a few minutes, then pour into a baking tin or dish.
step 3

Mix a pinch of salt with the herbs. Stuff equal amounts under the skin of each chicken thigh. Put a slice of lemon on top of each thigh, then arrange on top of the tomato and bean mixture in the baking tin.
step 4

Bake the wedges and chicken traybake in the oven at 180C/160C fan/gas 4 for 45 mins until the chicken is cooked through. Check the potatoes after about 30 mins, shaking them around in the tray – depending on the size of the wedges, they may already be cooked through.
