21 April, 2023 | Lifestyle

When life is busy, a super, simple family recipe is what’s needed! I found and tested this delicious roast chicken tray bake recipe. It went down a treat.

I don’t know about you but I have a mountain of recipe books. I love to browse through the recipes but sometimes as a busy mum, I just need a super, simple meal that will work for all of us.

Having found this recipe on BBC Good Food website, tried and tested in on the family and thought you might like it too.

Roast Chicken Tray Bake

Prep: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 1 hour and 5 minutes

Ingredients

2 red onions (320g) sliced across into rings

1 large, red pepper, deseeded and chopped into 3cm chunks

300g potatoes. Peeled and cut into 3cm chunks. I use Charlotte potatoes.

2 tbs rapeseed oil.

1 lime, zested and juiced.

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp thyme leaves

pink star indicating a point As you approach the end of the cooking time, mix 200 mld boiling water with the bouillon power.

pink star indicating a point Remove the roasting tin from the oven, add the broccoli and pour over the hot stock followed by the lime juice.

This recipe is great for lunches, midweek suppers and is even better the next day – should there be any left!
