1 lemon, halved
½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Stay Awake

(Stops screen from sleeping)

Preheat oven to 200°C. In a roasting dish, place chicken. Loosen skin on chicken breast by slipping your fingers in between the skin and the flesh of the breast, and stuff chopped herbs inside. Squeeze the juice of half the lemon over the top of the chicken and place the lemon half inside the cavity. Season with salt and pepper. Place in the oven and cook for 1 hour 15 minutes, until juices run clear.
In a separate roasting dish, place potatoes and spray with oil. Place in oven and cook for 45 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and crisp on the outside and cooked through.
In a large bowl, combine kohlrabi, carrot and broccoli. Combine yoghurt, mayonnaise and juice of remaining lemon half and stir through vegetables.
Serve 2 portions (300g cooked meat) of the chicken with potatoes and slaw. Reserve remaining chicken for other dishes this week.

Variations

If you can’t find kohlrabi, use broccoli stalks or extra carrot.

Make it gluten free: Check mustard is gluten free.

Make it low FODMAP: Swap kohlrabi for shredded cabbage and carrot. Check mustard is onion and garlic free.
