This is a healthy and flavourful dish that can be prepared in ten minutes. It is a dish that is cooked in the oven but also one might try the same recipe in a pan by adding less yogurt than suggested in the recipe. You may serve the roasted chicken with vegetables with a side of rice, baked potatoes, or bread.
The dish cooks easily if you cut the chicken into small pieces. Remember that chopping the chicken to very small pieces will dry the chicken and you will lose the juicy flavour. If you prefer breast meat to leg, then you might be a little bit more generous with the olive oil. The result is a hearty, juicy, and delicious dinner platter.
Roasted chicken with vegetables can be stored in the fridge up to five days without losing its freshness, and can be easily warmed up for lunch or dinner.

Alternative Ingredients
With Fish – Instead of chicken, you might try the same recipe with fish. In this case, do not add yogurt.
Vegetarian -- You may cook the dish without any meat. However, it is better not to replace chicken with any root vegetable, such as potato, carrot, or celery root, as such vegetables will not cook at the same duration as zucchini and pepper.
