Spicy Chicken Tray-bake

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

  1. 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!).
  2. Preheat oven to 180°C fan-forced.
  3. 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!
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Eat with rice or just by itself!
