Pre-heat OVEN to 180 deg C and grill chicken for about 30 mins



ROASTING VEGETABLES 
Ingredients

1 Whole Carrots - Cut into round chunks
1 Pack King Oyster Mushrooms - Thick Slice
Dash of Black Pepper

Method

Toss carrots and mushrooms with Chicken Marinade {sauce from the above marinated chicken} and black pepper
Place carrots and mushrooms directly under the chicken, because mushrooms are tasteless, let the mushrooms absorb the flavour from the chicken
Spread the vegetables as a thin layer on the roasting tray. Then prop the chicken on top of the vegetables
The good thing about roasting vegetables with your chicken is that the aroma of the vegetables will enhance the taste of the chicken
