Traybake Chicken with Spiced Grapes, Chickpeas and Thyme
Nargisse Benkabbou · Madaq
Traybake dinners are one of the tricks that I often turn to in order to make my life easier. To me, these recipes are about packing as many flavours and textures as possible into one pan and letting the oven do its job. A roasted chicken may be the ultimate comfort food, and many of my traybake dinners feature chicken. I love how the juices and fat that the chicken releases during the roasting process meld with the seasoning to create a rich, satisfying sauce. As soon as I take the pan out of the oven, I dip a big chunk of bread into the warm sauce – it is, without doubt, the best part. This recipe is a traybake version of a grape, chickpea, and thyme chicken tagine. The grapes, added towards the end of cooking, caramelize in the hot juices and warm spices to create a delicious burst of flavour that beautifully complements the thyme. My favourite way to enjoy this dish is with a dollop of Greek yogurt and plenty of bread for sopping up the cooking juices.
