Low-calorie cooking spray
1 aubergine, cut into small chunks

2 red onions, each sliced into 6 wedges
8 garlic cloves (left unpeeled)
8 skinless and boneless chicken thighs, visible fat removed

Method
1 Preheat your oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas 6. Spray a large, non-stick roasting tin with low-calorie cooking spray. Spread the vegetables, garlic and chicken in the tin in a single layer and season. Scatter the oregano over the chicken, then add a splash of water to the tin.

In addition, you are encouraged to eat measured quantities of certain foods, known as ‘Healthy Extras’ that provide nutrients essential for a healthy, balanced diet.
These include milk and cheese (for calcium) and cereals and wholemeal bread (for fibre and minerals).
And so you never feel deprived you can enjoy limited amounts of treats which are higher-calorie, less filling foods that include chocolate, crisps and alcohol.
