Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 190C/gas 5/fan 170. Arrange the chicken in a shallow ovenproof dish. Mix together the honey, lemon zest and juice, oil, salt and pepper, then pour over the chicken breasts and turn them around until well coated.
- Roast the chicken breasts for 40-45 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time, and basting occasionally, until they are golden brown and shiny and the marinade has almost evaporated. Leave to cool, then wrap in foil and chill until ready to eat. (The chicken may now be frozen for up to 1 month. Defrost before serving.)
- On the day, spread the lettuce over a large platter, tearing up any large leaves. Slice the chicken breasts, keeping them together, then arrange over the lettuce.

- Use a sharp knife to cut the chicken into even pieces. This will help ensure that the chicken cooks evenly.
- If you don't have chicken breasts, you can use chicken thighs or drumsticks instead.
- You can use any type of honey for this recipe. However, I recommend using a light-colored honey, such as clover honey or orange blossom honey.
- If you don't have fresh lemon juice, you can use bottled lemon juice instead. However, fresh lemon juice will give your dish a brighter flavor.
- You can add other vegetables to this dish, such as bell peppers, broccoli, or snap peas.
- Serve this dish over rice or noodles. You can also serve it with a side of roasted vegetables.
