• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Slice capsicum in half lengthways, then remove stem and seeds. • Place capsicum on a lined oven tray. Brush capsicum with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange cut-side up and roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.

• Meanwhile, finely chop garlic. Zest lemon to get a pinch and slice into wedges. Grate carrot. Drain and rinse chickpeas. Cut chicken breast strips into 2cm chunks. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook half the garlic until fragrant, 1 minute. • Transfer garlic oil to a small bowl, then add Greek-style yoghurt and lemon zest. Season to taste.

• When capsicum has 10 minutes remaining, heat a large frying pan over high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, cook chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. • Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook chickpeas and carrot until tender, 2-3 minutes. • Add chermoula spice blend and tomato paste, and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Stir in the cooked chicken, water (for the veggies), brown sugar and butter. Simmer until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
