Ingredients
- 2 lemons

- 200g Greek yoghurt
- 1 green chilli (optional)
- 10g fresh dill

- 1 tbsp chilli flakes
- 3 x 400g cans chickpeas
- 200ml chicken stock
- 60g Parmesan

Steps
- Heat oven to 180°C.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the juice of ¼ lemon, honey, paprika, and half the Dijon mustard. Add chicken thighs, toss to coat, and season with salt and pepper.
- Arrange chicken thighs in a single layer on a baking tray and roast for 30 minutes, until crispy and cooked through.
- Meanwhile, blend yoghurt, green chilli, half the parsley, half the dill, and juice of the remaining lemon with a pinch of salt until smooth. Set aside as the herby yoghurt sauce.
- Wash and trim leeks, halve lengthwise, then slice into thin half-moons. Thinly slice garlic.
- Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add leeks and garlic, cook 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and jammy.
- Stir in remaining Dijon mustard and chilli flakes; cook 1 more minute.
- Add drained chickpeas and chicken stock. Simmer 3-4 minutes until thickened and creamy.
- Grate in Parmesan and season with salt and pepper.
- Once chicken is done, pour roasting juices into the chickpea mixture.
- Spoon chickpea mixture onto plates, top with crispy chicken thighs, remaining parsley and dill, and a drizzle of herby yoghurt sauce.
