Spanish Chicken

Spanish Chicken

Now this recipe probably isn't held dear by a spanish community but does use ingredients which have spanish links so the name spanish chicken no matter how tenuous does make me feel a bit like I'm cooking something extravagant rather than a one pan chicken bake.

This dish is about 370 calories per portion and is lowish in fat. I've added chorizo as it is the food of the gods but it's really the only fatty thing in the dish. 

Ingredients

1 small onion, cuts into wedges or just a handful of frozen diced onion

100g new potatoes, quartered

2 garlic cloves, unpeeled but left whole (DO NOT EAT!! LEARNT THE HARD WAY)

1/2 bell pepper, diced

20g chorizo, sliced

1 skinless chicken breast

1/2 tsp paprika

1/2 tsp dried oregano

Method

1. Preheat the oven to gas mark 6
2. Put the onions, potatoes, garlic and bel peppers in a large roasting tin, toss everything together and roast for 20 minutes
3. Take the roasting tin out of the oven, chuck in the chorizo and toss everything again. Place the chicken on top and sprinkle the paprika and oregano. Return to the oven for 30 mins or until the chicken is cooked through.

And thats literally it. Simple as that, I find this recipe really good for when I just can not be bothered but I still get protein and vegetables.
