Easy and healthy, with crispy, sticky chicken and caramelised onions and peppers, this Piri Piri Chicken TrayBake is the perfect recipe to have up your sleeve. Add in the Sweet Potato Wedges and you have a complete meal that is perfect for mid-week or the weekend.
I first made this traybake years ago and it has always been one of my favourites so decided it was high time I share it with you! What I love so much is that you simply toss the ingredients together, pop it in the oven and 45 minutes later dinner is served.
I love this chicken served with the sweet potato wedges, it goes so well. If I have time I also serve my Avocado Lime Dressing alongside. It’s a match made in heaven and a brilliant way to get veg into people without them realising!
We eat lots of chicken in our house. I love it almost any way, and chicken recipes are always really popular on my site, so you must too! I particularly like my Sun Dried Tomato, Basil and Mozzarella Chicken. My Juicy Chicken Enchiladas and Sweet and Sour Leftover Chicken are the perfect way to use up any left-over chicken you may have, and my Paprika Cream Chicken remains my all-time most popular post. If you like those recipes, then you’ll love this!

Living in portugal we eat piri piri often, but usually just on a whole chicken. This recipe is a great way to enjoy the taste and so easy to make. Mine didn’t look as good as your photo, but still tasted fantastic
That’s high praise from someone who lives in Portugal. I’m glad it tasted fantastic. Thank you!
This looks absolutely incredible – I love piri piri chicken so much! I assume you can substitute regular potato for the sweet potato? I’m not a massive fan of sweet potato somehow, but otherwise, this is a perfect meal for me!
Hi Hannah. Absolutely. Regular potato would be a perfect substitute for the sweet potato. I glad you like the look of it:)
🙂 Thanks Jo. Absolutely – I’m up for anything that cooks itself!
Such a gorgeous traybake Anna, full of colour and goodness. Fantastic and easy meal that pretty much cooks itself which is what we all want on a busy weeknight! Fab!
