Over 20 one-pan chicken recipes for easy dinners
When you really can’t be bothered to cook, nothing beats a chicken tray bake for an easy dinner.
The benefit of a tray bake is that it cuts down on prep time and complicated cooking labour. Removing finicky slicing and dicing, a chicken tray bake often involves throwing whole ingredients in a pan and letting it simmer. What’s more, the use of just one pan can make washing-up a breeze.
Whether you’re after something light and summery, or cosy and comforting for winter, our favourite chicken tray bake recipes have you covered. While some recipes may list salads or sides, these can always be made optional in a pinch. Just don’t skip the seasoning.
Punchy chorizo steals the show in this bake of cauliflower, chicken and leek, with hints of oregano adding some autumn flavours to this quick and tasty dinner.
Use whatever stale sourdough you have on hand for the panzanella – dark rye, for instance, will add extra complexity to this simple Tuscan tomato and bread salad.
