So I posted that I was going to review some chicken recipes from the WW Chickenlicious Cookbook...well I did this tonight and it was delicious! It looks a bit anaemic but I promise you it was more tasty than it necessarily looks. The cookbook recipe requires potatoes (Making it 5sp per portion) but I substittuted Butternut Squash which made it a 0sp dish. The following recipe serves 4 people but I scaled it down just for me. Will definitely be doing it again.
Lets stay strong guys

Ingrdients
800g Potatoes, Raw, cut into wedges ( used butternut squash in large cubes)3 medium Tomato, cut into wedges (I sued 6 Cherry tomatoes with the skin removed)4 Bay leaves, dry
1 stick Cinnamon
4 medium Chicken breast, skinless, raw, slashed
1 medium Lemon, quartered
1 Chicken stock, made up to 150ml with hot water
1 level teaspoons, Oregano, Dried
1 clove Garlic, sliced thin (I onitted this because I was only doing a portion for me)
1 teaspoon Salt
1 pinch Black pepper
Method
Preheat the oven to Gas 6/ 200/ fan 180 fan.
Line a large roasting tin with two long sheets of foil (at least twice as long as the roasting tin), forming a cross with the ends hanging over the sides.
Place the potatoes and the tomatoes in the foil-lined tin and tuck in the bay leaves and cinnamon stick.
Nestle the chicken on top.
Season to taste.
Squeeze the juice from the lemon quarters into a jug, then tuck the lemon quarters in among the chicken and vegetables.
Mix the lemon juice with the stock, oregano and garlic and pour this over the chicken and vegetables.
Bring up the edges of the foil and scrunch to seal them well, forming a loose parcel that still allows air to circulate inside.
Cook in the oven for 40 mins.
Turn the oven up to Gas 7/ 220/200 fan.
Open up the foil and fold back the edges to expose the chicken and vegetables. return to the oven for 10 minutes to allow the chicken and vegetables to brown a little. Discard the cinnamon, lemon skins and bay leaves and serve.
I looked at that juice and thought "Too much and too watery" ...but...I was soooo wrong. Loved it.
