Ingredients
500g baby potatoes
Eight boneless and skinless chicken thighs
100g cooking chorizo, sliced
One large red onion, cut into wedges
Eight garlic cloves peeled and roughly chopped
One courgette, chopped into slices
100g cherry tomatoes
One teaspoon paprika
One fennel bulb, sliced lengthways
One tablespoon olive oil
Salt and black pepper to season
Juice of one lemon
Method
Start by preheating the oven to 220C / Fan 200C / Gas 7 and weigh out and chop the above ingredients listed.
Wash the potatoes and cut any large ones in half, then simmer gently in salted water for eight to 10 minutes until tender. Drain the water off.
Place the chicken, fennel and potatoes in a large ovenproof dish, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle the paprika over the chicken, season and pop in the oven for 15 minutes.
Once the time is up, take the dish out of the oven and add the chorizo, tomatoes, courgette, garlic and red onion to the dish.
Next, pop the dish back in the oven for a further half an hour, just until everything is cooked through.
For the last step, drizzle the top of the traybake with lemon juice before serving.
For maximum flavour, you can use skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs and take off the skin after cooking to save calories if you wish.
Leftovers should be refrigerated within two hours of cooking and kept in the fridge for up to three days.
Eat cold or reheat individual portions in the microwave until piping hot all of the way through.
