Here's how you do it

Place the potatoes in a large roasting tin with two tablespoons of the oil. Toss well to coat them.

Add the onion, garlic, bacon and chicken pieces and toss together.

Add the lemons to the roasting tin. Season everything well and sprinkle with the paprika. Roast for 40 minutes.

In a bowl, toss the courgettes in the remaining tablespoon of oil and season with salt and pepper, then poke them in among the chicken and scatter the olives over the top. (Don't overcrowd the roasting tin, you need everything to be in a single layer or it will not cook evenly - divide between two tins if necessary.)

Return to the oven for a further 20 minutes, until the chicken and vegetables are golden brown and tender.
