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!
