Cooking Method

Heat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Fan 180°C/Gas Mark 6. You’ll need a large shallow baking tray. Add the chicken, peppers, potatoes, oil and herbs, mix everything together so that all the oil and herbs are coated evenly.

Spread everything back out on the tray and bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 40-45mins or until the potatoes are tender, the chicken is golden and crisp and the peppers are juicy and sweet. (Check after 20mins and give everything a toss through.)

Tumble everything onto a large serving platter and take to the table with a big green salad and a fresh baguette to share.

That’s it! Now serve
