TRAY BAKED CHICKEN PARMESAN AND CHORIZO

Tray Baked Dinners
Where have I been, I kinda know I do cook like this but I did not realise how much more I should cook like this, I am loving this new found freedom of one pan cooking, as a old fashioned cook I am all about layering of flavours and tray baking still gives all those layers of flavours with out the manual workout at the stove.  Dinner done in 10 minutes! 

Prep time 5-10 minutes / Cooking time 25 minutes



Ingredients 
(serves 4)

4 chicken breasts bashed even all over
100g chorizo sliced
1 head broccoli florets
1 courgette sliced
1 red pepper sliced
200g Brussels sprouts cut in to 3 pieces
200g spinach
1 bulb of garlic peeled
200g cherry tomatoes on the vine
50 ml olive oil
1/2 tsp Himalayan sea salt
1/2 fresh ground black pepper
50-100g grated Parmesan 

Pre heat the oven 200 C / 390 F, toss the chicken in a tbsp of olive oil, season with some of the salt and pepper, in the tray back add the rest of the ingredients and toss through the remaining olive oil, salt and pepper, place the chicken breasts on top and arrange some of the garlic cloves and chorizo sliced on top of the chicken.  This will not only add a nutty baked flavour to the chicken, but the chorizos gorgeous paprika oils will baste the rest of the dish while it cooks.

Bake in the oven for 25 minutes until the chicken is just cooked all the way through, sprinkle over the grated Parmesan and serve the tray bake straight to the table family style.
