Method

Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Put the leek, radishes and potatoes in a large roasting tin. Whisk most of the lemon juice, the lemon zest, mustard and stock in a jug and pour over the veg in the tin. Toss well to coat.
Bake for 30 mins, then stir and nestle in the chicken pieces. Cook for another 20-25 mins until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
Meanwhile, blitz one-quarter of the watercress with the yogurt and remaining lemon juice in a food processor. Toss the rest of the watercress through the traybake, then serve with the watercress sauce.
