Jamie Olivers Pepper And Chicken Jalfrezi Traybake Recipes

HARISSA CHICKEN TRAYBAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4.
• Deseed the peppers and tear into big chunks, peel and quarter the onions and break apart into petals, then place it all in a 30cm x 40cm roasting tray.
• Use a large sharp knife to carefully cut down the back of the chicken, so you can open it out flat, then score the legs. Add to the tray with the harissa, and a little sea salt, black pepper and red wine vinegar. Toss well, making sure you get into all the nooks and crannies of the chicken.
• Sit the chicken flat on top of the veg, skin side up, and roast it all for 50 minutes, or until gnarly and cooked through. Pick over the mint leaves before dishing up.

HIT 'N' RUN TRAYBAKED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4.
• Quarter the tomatoes and place them in a large baking dish or roasting tray (roughly 25cm x 30cm). Peel the onions and cut into large wedges, then deseed and roughly chop the peppers. Add all these to the tray along with the chicken thighs.
• Squash the unpeeled garlic cloves with the back of your knife and add to the tray, then pick over the thyme leaves and sprinkle over the paprika.
• Add 2 tablespoons of oil, the balsamic and a good pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Toss everything together really well to coat, then spread across the tray, making sure the chicken isn't covered by the vegetables.
• Roast for around 1 hour, or until the chicken is golden and cooked through, turning and basting it a couple of times during cooking with the juices from the tray.
• Serve the traybake with a lovely green salad on the side. You could also buddy it up with a little rice, polenta or a loaf of crusty bread to mop up the juices.

JAMIE OLIVER'S PEPPER AND CHICKEN JALFREZI TRAYBAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180ºC. Put a 25cm x 35cm sturdy roasting tray on a medium heat on the hob. Season the chicken thighs with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper, then place in the tray skin side down with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Peel the garlic cloves, halve and deseed the chillies, then scatter into the tray. Tear the peppers into quarters, removing the seeds, and add to the tray. Turn the chicken once golden, then add the bay leaves, jalfrezi paste and onion marmalade, moving it all around with tongs to coat. Let it sizzle over the heat for 5 minutes, then add 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar and transfer to the oven for 45 minutes, or until the chicken is falling off the bone. Mash the soft garlic cloves into the juices, then ripple through the yoghurt and serve. ENERGY 316kcal FAT19.5g SAT FAT 4.8g PROTEIN 20.7g CARBS 14.6g SUGARS 11.6g SALT 1.1g FIBRE 3.2g
