One Pan Chicken & Chorizo Tray Bake

I’ve mentioned on my blog before, my love for tray bakes…one pot cooking is just awesome because you just throw it all in and forget about it.

I made this very tasty Chicken & Chorizo Tray Bake for dinner last week and we yummed it up!

I’m a herb and spice queen and seem to have every type there ever was in my kitchen cupboards, so for me, the only extra thing I had to worry about buying for this recipe was the chorizo. I bought tiny little chorizo sausages, which I cut in half lengthways and put in the dish. You can buy ready prepared pieces, or a bigger chorizo that you can slice up. The other speciality ingredients, (and I use that term in the loosest possible way, since they’re not hard to find in the supermarket) are sweet smoked paprika and dried oregano. All the other ingredients you probably already have knocking around – chicken, potatoes, bell pepper, tinned tomatoes, onions and garlic.

This is a two step throw it in the pan and forget about dish (until the timer bell goes off on your cooker!) as these veg take a little longer than the chicken, but it’s easy enough!
