GREEK CHICKEN TRAYBAKE
Traybakes have grow to be the big name of my weeknight dinners. i am all approximately the low maintenance midweek food that can be prepared with the absolute minimal quantity of attempt, taste desirable, and preferably be eaten as leftovers over the following days.
As annoying as this sounds, this Greek bird traybake ticks all the ones containers and more. It’s packed with lovely wholesome substances inclusive of pink and yellow peppers, cherry tomatoes, red onions, wedges of lemon and hundreds of garlic and basil. Following much less then 10 minutes of prep, everything is tossed in a Greek herb sauce after which baked in the oven for half-hour, so simple!
I used large chook breast which I reduce in 1/2, however boneless skinless hen thighs might also work properly. This recipe is particularly versatile, if you are at the paleo or whole30 food plan genuinely bypass the feta, and in case you aren’t partial to bird then swap it for white fish.
