Ingredients
4 chicken thighs
100ml water
200g frozen peas
250ml cream
250g asparagus cut into bite-sized pieces
200g snap peas cut on the bias
50g Parmesan cheese

Method
Chicken thighs
Preheat oven to 225°C (regular oven).
Place the chicken thighs in an ovenproof dish and season with salt and lemon pepper.
Roast them in the middle of the oven for about 50 minutes – drizzle the stock over the thighs a few times while roasting.
Vegetable pasta
Cook the pasta according to the instructions.
Bring water to a boil in a thick-bottomed pan, add shelled peas, and cook for about 1 minute.
Add cream, salt and pepper, bring the sauce back to a boil, and then add asparagus and sugar peas to the sauce. Cook the vegetables for about 1 minute without the lid.
Add cheese, cook for another 1 minute and season to taste.
Pour the vegetable sauce over freshly cooked pasta and garnish with basil leaves. Serve immediately with the baked chicken thighs.
