Lemon & Herb Chicken Tray Bake
A simple one-pan chicken tray bake with lemon, garlic and herbs. Ready in under an hour and full of flavour.
Ingredients (serves 4)
- 8 boneless chicken thighs
- 500g potatoes, cut into chunks
- 2 peppers, sliced
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- 2 tsp garlic granules
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tbsp cooking oil
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and black pepper
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan).
- Place the chicken thighs, potatoes, peppers and onion in a large roasting tin.
- In a small bowl, mix the cooking oil, lemon zest and juice, garlic granules, dried oregano, paprika, salt and pepper.
- Pour the mixture over the chicken and vegetables and toss everything together so it’s well coated.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, turning halfway, until the chicken is golden and cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
- Serve straight from the tray with a simple side salad or some peas.
Tip: This recipe works well with bone-in chicken thighs too – just add an extra 10 minutes to the cooking time.
