Squeeze juice from lemon halves over chicken; sprinkle with thyme mixture. Loosely stuff chicken with squeezed lemon halves, onion, thyme sprigs and garlic. Pour the mixture into the baking dish. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.

Steps to make Lemon Thyme Chicken & Mashed Squash:
  1. In a large bowl, mix together the thighs, mashed garlic cloves, the zest, a tbsp of olive oil, thyme, oregano, salt and the pepper. Allow it to marinate for 30mins in the fridge
  2. Pour the left over tbsp of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet, or if you don't have an oven safe one, a regular skillet is fine :)
  3. Place the thighs skin side down on the pan and allow it to cook for about 5-6mins. Don't flip the chicken before that, the skin will get a nice golden brown
  4. Flip the chicken over and add the sliced lemon and allow it to cook for another 7-8mins
  5. If your skillet is oven safe, place it straight in the oven - if not transfer the thighs and everything else into a oven safe dish and allow it to roast for another 20mins
  6. Two options to cook the squash:
  7. A) Chop the squash into small cubes, toss together with some olive oil, salt and pepper and then place on a baking tray evenly (don't dump it on the tray!) along with the garlic cloves and roast at 200C. 15mins into the baking, add the thyme and continue baking
  8. B) Boil the squash and garlic in a pot of boiling water
  9. Whichever option you go with, once its cooked, mash the squash and the garlic together to your desired consistency. I put it in the food processor for a quick even mash so the two year won't complain that it wasn't smooth
  10. While its hot, add the butter, milk and mascarpone and season with the salt and pepper and give it all a good stir. If you have boiled the squash, add the thyme along with these ingredients
  11. If there isn't mascarpone available where you live, use sour cream, it works fine
  12. When its ready to serve, put some mash on a plate and then the chicken right on top. A salad, some garlic bread will make this complete and will definitely leave everyone extremely satisfied

Remove chicken from fridge while you heat the grill. Light the grill, building a hot fire, or heat your gas grill to high. Pat the chicken breasts dry and place them skin side up. Serve the chicken with a generous dollop of hummus, a drizzle of olive oil, plus the olives and lemon wedges. Place the chicken breasts over the lemon peel, brush the fillets with the olive oil, and squeeze the pared lemon over the fillets.
