    1 Preheat oven to 200°C. Line 2 large baking trays with baking paper. Cut 2–3 deep slashes into each piece of chicken. Heat oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 2 minutes on each side or until browned. Transfer chicken to one prepared tray.

    2 Rub chicken with garlic and drizzle with half the lemon juice. Bake chicken for 35 minutes or until just cooked through.

    3 Meanwhile, combine yoghurt and tandoori paste in a large bowl. Add carrots, courgette asparagus and chickpeas. Toss gently together to coat.

    4 Place carrots on second prepared tray and bake for 10 minutes. Add courgette and bake for a further 10 minutes. Then add asparagus and chickpeas and bake for a final 10 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
