- Roughly chop all remaining vegetables and spread evenly on a baking tray (make sure to grease the tray before you set the vegetable bed)
- Rest the chicken on the vegetable bed, with the chicken breast facing side up
- Place the tray in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours so that all marinade ingredients are well absorbed by the Chicken
