Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 quarter roasted chicken leg quarter (seasoned with garlic, paprika, salt, pepper)
  • 4–5 pieces baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup sweet corn kernels
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 pieces soft-boiled eggs, halved
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • to taste salt & black pepper
  • optional smoked paprika or chili flakes for extra flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Season the chicken leg with olive oil, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Roast for 35–40 minutes until crispy and golden.
  3. Toss halved potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast beside the chicken or in another pan for 20–25 minutes until tender and golden.
  4. Steam broccoli for 4–5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
  5. Boil eggs for 7 minutes for soft yolks, then slice in half and season with black pepper.
  6. Add shredded carrots and sweet corn to the plate.
  7. Arrange roasted chicken, potatoes, broccoli, eggs, corn, and carrots neatly on a plate to serve.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken overnight with your favorite spices. You can swap out the vegetables for whatever is in season or what you have on hand. Try adding a sprinkle of cheese over the broccoli right before serving for a creamy touch. Experiment with different herbs and spices for the roasted chicken to change the flavor profile.
