ingredients
- 1kg chicken thigh (skin on)
- 3 garlic cloves, crushed
- 2 red onions, cut into quarters
- 1 red capsicum, chopped into large chunks
- 1 yellow capsicum, chopped into large chunks
- 1 green capsicum, chopped into large chunks
- 1 broccoli, cut into florets
- 1 lime
Marinade for chicken
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 1/2 lime, juiced
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp dried coriander
- Extra lime juice for topping.
- Salt and pepper for sprinkling.
method
- In a large mixing bowl add chicken thigh and all ingredients under "marinade for chicken". Mix thoroughly and then place in the fridge to marinate for 1 hour (more if you can!).
- Preheat oven to 180°C fan-forced.
- Heat a small splash of olive oil in a non-stick pan over a medium to high heat. Once hot, place chicken in skin side down and cook for roughly 4-5 minutes, or until skin begins to crisp. Remember, the chicken will cook in the oven, we just want a crispy skin!
- In a large baking dish, add onion, garlic, capsicum, broccoli and dress with a small splash of olive oil, salt and pepper. Mix well, to ensure garlic infuses into all the veggies.
- Add chicken to the baking dish and bake for 30 minutes or until cooked through with no pink in the centre (75°C). Squeeze over extra lime juice to serve.
- Eat with rice or just by itself!
