Bunch of basil, leaves picked
1 garlic bulb, broken into cloves, skin on
1 lemon, quartered
Olive oil
1 dried red chilli
8 slices of pancetta, or thin-sliced smoked streaky bacon
Handful black olives (optional)
Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4. Place the chicken, tomatoes, basil, garlic cloves and olives in a deep roasting tray.
Add a generous drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of salt and pepper and the chilli.
