Method

Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Put the chicken breasts, chickpeas, peppers, onions and olives in a 30 x 40cm roasting tin so everything fits snugly. Whisk the oil with 2 tsp paprika, the lemon zest and a little seasoning, then drizzle it over everything; toss to coat. Nestle 4 lemon wedges into the tin, reserving the rest. Pour in the stock and bake for 30-35 mins until the chicken is cooked through and the veg is tender.
Meanwhile, mix the garlic, yogurt, a pinch of paprika and half the basil in a small bowl. Wrap the bread in foil and warm through in the oven for the last 5 mins of the traybake’s cooking time.
Scatter over the remaining basil and serve with warm crusty bread, the garlicky yogurt and remaining lemon wedges for squeezing over.
