Mary Berry’s Chicken and Chorizo Tray Bake is a wholesome dish made by roasting chicken pieces with spicy Spanish chorizo, peppers, onions, and potatoes in one tray.

Ingredients
-
Red and yellow peppers – 2, sliced
-
Garlic cloves – 3, crushed
-
Olive oil – 2 tbsp
-
Smoked paprika – 1 tsp
-
Dried oregano – 1 tsp
-
Lemon juice – 1 tbsp
-
Salt and freshly ground black pepper – to taste
-
Fresh parsley – for garnish
(Optional: a handful of cherry tomatoes or olives for extra Mediterranean flair)
Instructions
Place the chicken pieces evenly on top of the vegetables. Scatter the chorizo slices between them so the flavours mix as they roast.
Place the tray in the oven and roast for 40–45 minutes, turning the ingredients halfway through. The chicken skin should be golden, the potatoes soft, and the chorizo slightly crisped.
Once cooked, drizzle with fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with parsley. Serve straight from the tray for a rustic presentation.
