We’re springing into the season with our Spring Chicken Traybake. All of your Spring favourites – in ONE pan. Think zesty lemon, crispy chicken thighs roasted together with seasonal spring vegetables, hints of tarragon and a healthy crumble of creamy feta.

INGREDIENTS

Prep and cook time: 1 hr 5 mins

Serves 3-4

6 chicken thighs, bone in, skin on

2 tbsp olive oil

2 medium zucchinis, washed, sliced into 1 cm thick pieces

2 bunches asparagus, washed, ends trimmed.

1/2 lemon, zested and cut into wedges

Small pack tarragon

Sea salt and cracked pepper

100g Danish feta, crumbled

Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan. Put the chicken thighs and zucchini in a large shallow roasting tin, season and toss with the olive oil, lemon zest and wedges, salt and pepper and 1/2 the tarragon. Arrange the chicken thighs, skin-side up, and roast for 40-50 mins until the skin is crisp and golden (see images below).
  2. Meanwhile, bring a large pan of water to the boil and cook the asparagus for 3 mins or until tender.
  3. Drain the asparagus and toss in with the chicken, coating well with the cooking juices. Crumble over the feta and serve (see image below)
