Chicken and Chorizo Traybake with Beans

4

10 mins

Juicy chicken thighs roasted with smoky chorizo, sweet peppers, cherry tomatoes and creamy cannellini beans, all soaking up the paprika-rich juices, then finished with a squeeze of lemon. A little chorizo goes a long way on flavour, and the beans and vegetables make this high in fibre as well as protein. It's an easy, one-tray family dinner.

Ingredients
  • 8 bone-in chicken thighs (around 1kg), skin removed (use halal chicken for halal)
  • 1 onion, cut into wedges
  • 2 peppers (any colour), cut into chunks
  • 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp dried Italian herbs
  • 40g chorizo, cut into small chunks (or halal/kosher beef chorizo, or 2 tsp smoked paprika)
  • 2 x 400g tins cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 250g cherry tomatoes
  • Juice of 1 lemon

‍

Needed kitchenware

1 large roasting tray or 2 medium roasting trays

Instructions

1.

Heat the oven to 200c (180c fan).

2.

Put the chicken, onion and peppers in the roasting tin. Drizzle with the oil, sprinkle with the herbs and toss to coat. Roast for 25 minutes.

3.

Add the chorizo, beans and tomatoes, and stir everything together so the beans sit in the juices.

4.

Roast until the chicken is golden and cooked through with no pink meat near the bone (20 minutes). If you have a thermometer, it should read 75c.

5.

Squeeze over the lemon juice and serve.
