Preheat oven to 200°C. Using a small, sharp knife, make 3 shallow slashes across each piece of chicken. Finely grate rind from the lemon and set aside. Cut lemon into four thick slices. Combine yoghurt, dried oregano, garlic and half the lemon rind in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add chicken, toss to coat and set aside.

Remove tray from oven. Turn vegetables, then make 4 hollows in mixture. Place a chicken breast in each hollow, making sure each one is sitting on the hot tray, spooning over any remaining yoghurt mixture. Place one lemon slice on top of each chicken breast. Return tray to oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are lightly browned and tender.
