TIP! We use McCormick Grill Mates Smokin'Texas BBQ Rub. Try any other smoky flavoured seasoning, or use Moroccan or Cajun seasoning for a change. Check out the range available from the spices aisle in supermarkets.

Ingredients

800g chicken thigh fillets, trimmed, halved

40g sachet Texas barbecue rub (see Tip)

2 large zucchini, thickly sliced

2 yellow capsicums, cut into 2-3cm thick strips

250g punnet cherry tomatoes

750g frozen potato gems

Method

Place chicken and rub in a large bowl. Toss well to coat.
Heat an oiled, large flameproof roasting pan over a medium to high heat. Add chicken. Cook for 3 minutes each side, or until browned. Remove.
Add zucchini, capsicums and tomatoes to pan. Toss well. Return chicken to pan. Spray with cooking oil. Scatter potato gems over top.
Cook in a very hot oven (220C) for about 20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked and potato gems are crisp and golden. Serve.
