- Heat a large flameproof casserole dish over a medium heat. Toss the chicken in the oil and lemon zest; season. Browned for 6-7 mins, skin-side down, until golden and crisp. Turn and brown for a final 4 mins; you might need to do this in batches. Transfer to a plate using a slotted spoon; set aside.
- Add the onions, garlic and anchovies to the dish and fry for 5 mins until golden. Stir in the mustard, stock and the lemon juice. Bring to the boil and return the chicken, skin-side up. Cover, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 20 mins. Uncover and cook for a further 25 mins or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Add the peas and broccoli. Cover and cook for a further 8 mins, or until the veg is just tender.
- Spoon over the pesto, then top with the basil or parsley leaves and lemon wedges. Serve with warm crusty bread, if you like.
Tip: Freeze for up to 3 months. To defrost, thaw overnight in the fridge, then reheat at gas 6, 200°C, fan 180˚C, or on the hob over a mediumlow heat for 20-30 mins until piping hot.
