For a Sunday lunch with a difference why not serve this tasty chicken and pepper pot- roast. Chicken thighs are surprisingly meaty and full of flavour as well as being very economical and quick to cook - this dish can be on the table in under an hour. For a more colourful dish you can use a mix of red, green and yellow peppers or add some thick slices of courgette or aubergine, if liked. Roast baby new potatoes in a little olive oil, sea salt and fresh rosemary sprigs at the same time as the chicken is cooking to serve as an accompaniment.
