Easy Traybake Dinners
We all seem to lead such busy and hectic lives nowadays. Whether it’s busy work life, bringing up children with all that entails, or even just a brilliant social life, it all means we have less time to do the cooking.
But all you need is one tray and a few ingredients to make one fantastic dinner and keep the washing up to a minimum.

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 190°C/170°C Fan/Gas 5.
- When the oven is hot, pour the oil into the roasting tray and slide it into the oven. Leave the tray to heat up for 10 mins.
- When the oil is nice and hot, carefully slide the tray out of the oven. Lay the chicken in it, skin-side down. Tumble the cauliflower florets around the meat and put the tray back into the oven to roast for 10 mins.
- Remove the tray from the oven and scatter over the red onion, chorizo and sprigs of thyme. Return the tray to the oven and roast for a further 15 mins.
- Take the tray out again, flip over the chicken breasts and give all the vegetables a bit of a stir.
- Place the tomatoes on top of the mixture and give the tray one more blast in the oven for 10 mins.
- Remove the tray from the oven and, while it is hot, drop the spinach on top and carefully stir it through so it wilts a little in the heat. Serve.
