Brush the chicken with olive oil then season with dried oregano, sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Place on the baking tray and bake for 45 minutes.

In a saucepan, combine the lentils with the onion, garlic, bay leaves and 1 litre of cold water. Bring to the boil then reduce heat and simmer gently for 20 minutes or until the lentils are tender. Drain well.

To make the dressing, halve the tomatoes, discard the juice and seeds, and finely chop the flesh. In a bowl, combine the tomato with the mint, parsley, olive oil, vinegar, sea salt and black pepper.
