  • 400g new potatoes
  • 4 thyme sprigs
  • 150g cubed pancetta

  • Preheat the oven to 200C. Add the capsicum, tomato paste, olive oil and garlic to a food processor and whizz to a paste, then season and spread all over the chicken thighs. Add the chicken and potatoes to a roasting tin, then mix together, scatter with thyme leaves and roast for 30 mins.
