I’m forever thinking of new “one-pan chicken” recipes because the effort is always so minimal and the reward so high. Here, the chicken is married with pumpkin and chickpeas for the perfect midweek dinner. This marinade is packed full of flavour, the date molasses helping to caramelise the chicken and adding a subtle, complementary sweetness to the roast pumpkin.

I like to serve this with fluffy flatbreads or steamed rice to help soak up all the delicious juices.
