Eat like a pro: Chicken traybake
A simple and straightforward go-to meal, chef Tom's chicken traybake recipe is the perfect way to fuel or refuel like an England Rugby player.
What you will need (makes three portions)
For the marinade
- 3 cloves of garlic (grated)
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt & pepper
- 10ml olive oil
For the traybake
- 1kg Chicken thighs (skin on & bone in)
- 250g diced sweet potatoes
- 150g diced peppers
- 250g diced courgette
- 250g diced Aubergine
- 125g mushrooms
- 20ml olive oil
- Salt & pepper
For the yoghurt dressing
- 1 lemon (juice & zest)
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tsp harissa
- 100g yoghurt
- Fresh basil leaves
Method
- The yogurt dressing can be made in advance and stored in the fridge for three days. To make it, add all ingredients and mix well.
- For the traybake, begin by pre-heating the oven to 180 degrees.
- In a mixing bowl add the chicken thighs along with the paprika, dried oregano, grated garlic and olive oil, and season with a dash of salt and pepper, mixing well to ensure the thighs are thoroughly coated.
- Add all of your diced vegetables to an oven-proof tray and season with salt, pepper, olive oil and mix well.
- Place the marinated chicken thighs on top of the vegetable and place in the oven for 30 minutes (use a probe to ensure a core temperature of 75 degrees).
- Divide the chicken and vegetables into bowls and dress generously with the spiced yoghurt and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
This dish can be chilled and eaten cold for a good lunch or pre/post work out meal.
