Ingredients

For the Marinade

  • 250 g fat-free natural yogurt
  • 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp onion granules
  • 1 tsp garlic granules
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme leaves picked
  • 4 chicken breasts visible fat removed and cut into large chunks

For the Coating

  • 50 g plain flour
  • ½ tsp onion granules
  • ½ tsp garlic granules
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme leaves picked
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • Low-calorie cooking spray

For the Wedges

  • 1 kg sweet potatoes cut into wedges
  • Low-calorie cooking spray
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic granules optional

For the Slaw

  • ½ red cabbage shredded
  • 4 spring onions finely chopped
  • 200 g sugar snap peas sliced
  • 15 g fresh chives finely chopped
  • 3 Tbsp cider vinegar
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • To make the marinade, place the yogurt, Worcestershire sauce, onion granules, garlic granules, and the thyme leaves into a large bowl or container with a lid, and stir to combine.
  • Add the chicken pieces and toss to coat.
  • Cover and place in the fridge to marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight if possible.
  • Preheat oven to 200C/400F/Gas 8 and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • To make the coating, place the flour, onion granules, garlic granules, paprika, salt, pepper, and thyme leaves into a shallow bowl and mix together well.
  • Lift the chicken pieces from the marinade (no need to shake off excess), dip into the flour, coating well and place onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Spray the chicken with cooking spray.
  • To make the wedges, place into a large bowl and spray with cooking spray. Season well with salt, pepper, and garlic granules (if using) and transfer to a baking sheet. Spread evenly into one layer.
  • Bake the chicken and the wedges for 35-40 minutes, turning the wedges halfway through, until the chicken is cooked and the potatoes are tender.
  • Meanwhile, make the slaw by combining the red cabbage, spring onions, sugar snap peas, chives and cider vinegar in a bowl. Season with salt to taste.
  • Serve the chicken between 4 plates with the wedges and slaw on the side.
