I cannot resist a bargain, and walking through the market yesterday they had whole crates of peppers and tomatoes that were so cheap they were practically giving them away! I couldn't just leave them there for such a good price so I loaded up my buggy with bags of delicious produce and now I need to find lots of ways to use them up (and my freezer is already so full I can barely shut the door!).
Tonight's chicken tray bake was inspired by food I ate in Portugal last year and my need to use up some peppers! I used orange and yellow peppers as that's what I had the most of but red peppers would be equally delicious in this recipe.
It's a really simple one that's perfect for a weeknight as you can just throw everything in, set the timer and get on with something else (in my case it was bathing little man and getting him in bed!) knowing a delicious dinner awaits.
So here are the oh so simple instructions....
Chop peppers of your preference into chunky strips and place in the bottom of the tray or dish you are using (about 1 pepper per person is the right portion size), next peel and chop sweet potatoes into coins and add to the tray. Again, 1 per person should be enough depending on the size of your spuds. You will need about half a chorizo sausage for 2
People, chop this and add to the tray. Place chicken thighs on top of your veg and drizzle with a little olive oil, a squeeze of lemon and some oregano. Put it straight in the oven for an hour and do your thing- if I wasn't pregnant I would definitely be pouring a nice glass of red to go with this. Give it a shake half way through cooking and devour! :)
