Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spray a baking sheet and medium-­size baking dish with nonstick spray. Keep a sheet of foil handy.

1 Chicken Rub the oil over the chicken and season with the chicken spice and curry powder. Arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and squeeze the lemon juice over.

2 Roast in the heated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 180°C and roast for another 30 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and done.

3 Noodle casserole Cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain well and set aside.

4 Mix the rest of the ingredients well, spoon into the baking dish and spread evenly. Arrange the chicken pieces on top and pour any remaining pan juices from the baking sheet over the chicken.

5 Cover the dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes or until the noodles are heated through. Remove the foil and bake for another 5-10 minutes.

6 To finish Sprinkle the tomatoes over (if using), and serve.

We add grated baby marrows in the casserole for extra wholesomeness, but you can mix in other vegetables such as grated carrots or sweet potatoes if preferred.
