Healthy Chicken Traybake
Healthy chicken traybake is a super simple recipe. You can put it together in a few minutes, and the oven does the rest of the work. With carrots, broccoli and sweet potato to make it filling, traybake chicken thighs is a complete all-in-one dinner.
Ingredients
- 4 large chicken thighs
- 300 g sweet potatoes cut into 2 cm pieces
- 300 g carrots cut into 2 cm pieces
- 300 g broccoli or cauliflower cut into small florets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- handful of kale leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried mixed herbs or a tablespoon fresh herbs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees (160 fan) whilst prepping the veg.
- Divide all of the vegetables between 2 large baking trays. Drizzle over the oil, and add the chicken thighs. Season well and add the herbs.
- Bake for 35 mins until the chicken is cooked through and golden. If using leafy veg such as kale, add to the tray for the final 10 minutes of cooking time.
Notes
- In the summer you could make a Mediterranean chicken tray bake with some whole cherry tomatoes, peppers and courgette.
- You can also ramp up the flavour with other spices if you like. Sprinkle over some curry powder, or add a mix of turmeric and cardamom.
- I used mixed dried herbs, but fresh herbs are even better. A little chopped thyme or rosemary goes particularly well with chicken.
