    Ready when: The oven light shows it has reached temperature.

  2. 2

    Marinate the chicken 10 min

    Slice the chicken breasts in half through the side so they are an even thickness. Mix with grated garlic, the zest of the lemon, half the olive oil, salt and pepper. Leave for 10 minutes.

    Ready when: Every piece is coated.

    Ready when: Edges are browned and a knife goes into the broccoli easily.

    Ready when: The thickest part is white all the way through with clear juices.
