There is nothing like a nourishing, baked meal, and this is one of the easiest dinners to prepare with maximum flavour. It is what I would call the ultimate tray bake. Do not be swayed by the cooking time after a few simple steps. The oven does all of the hard work for you. The chicken seasoning is simple, and it’s the cooking method in the same tray as the carrots, red onion and potatoes that makes this Chicken and Vegetable Tray Bake special. The vegetables caramelise, the juices seep into the potatoes, the chicken is cooked perfectly, and you are left with something truly delicious with minimal effort.
Note 1 – You may choose to truss the chicken, which traps moisture and also presents well, but this is optional. The results without trussing are delicious, and you will be left with perfectly cooked chicken every time.
MAKE AHEAD – Marinate the chicken for up until 48 hours before cooking.
LEFTOVERS – Refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave. The chicken can be eaten cold. Not suitable to freeze.
