Tray Bake Mediterranean Chicken

How great are tray bakes? Not having to hover by a hot stove (zero stove splatter!), one pan to clean up, and the minimal fuss of simply arranging ingredients on a tray all get a big tick of approval from me.
This Mediterranean Chicken Tray Bake covers all the bases. It’s super simple and you get perfectly cooked chicken plus juicy, roasted tomatoes and potatoes soaking up all the hefty flavours of garlic, lemon and stock flavours, making this a delicious, filling dinner option for any night of the week.
We love serving this dinner with a big non-starchy green salad and often will toss any extra veggies that need to be used up directly onto the tray (thick slices of zucchini or capsicum work a treat!)

Ingredients
  

  • 600 g chicken thigh
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 2 tsp oregano dried
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • 2-3 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 5 potato diced
  • 1 red onion sliced
  • 250 g cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan).
  • Arrange the chicken on a baking tray (ensure the chicken is facing skin-side up) and sprinkle with the paprika, oregano, salt, pepper and garlic.
  • In a small jug, combine the honey, Dijon mustard, lemon juice and olive oil well. Pour the marinade all over the chicken and rub with your hands to ensure the pieces are evenly coated.
  • Scatter the potatoes, red onion and cherry tomatoes around the chicken. Drizzle the vegetables with extra olive oil and sprinkle with extra salt and pepper.
  • Pour the chicken stock into the base of the baking dish. Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour until the chicken is golden and cooked through.
  • Stand for 10 minutes before serving. Serve with our non-starchy green salad from 'sides' recipes.

Notes

PREP
The chicken can be marinated up to 48 hours in advance and kept in the fridge.
LEFTOVERS
Refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or in the oven (to retain the crispy chicken skin). Not suitable to freeze, once cooked.
