1 can chickpeas, drained
1/3 cup roasted peanuts, chopped
Lime wedges to serve
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C fan.
Place the chicken, capsicum, cauliflower & chickpeas in a bowl.
Mix the massaman sauce through the chicken & veg making sure it coats everything.
Scatter the vegetables and chicken onto a large baking tray and season with salt.
Place into the preheated oven and cook for 35-40 minutes - or until the chicken is cooked (to an internal temp of 74-75°C) and charred around the edges.
In the meantime cook rice of choice to serve along side the traybake.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with nuts and a squeeze of lime juice.
Hints & tips
Chicken - This dish uses skin on chicken to create a crispy texture with the dish. Use skin off if you prefer, cover the dish with foil for the first 20mins then remove to let the veggies crisp up.
Bone out thighs - Cooking time will be less. Bake for 25-30 mins. The veggies wont be as crispy but it will still be delicious.
Chicken breast - Use a sharp knife to make parallel, shallow cuts through the chicken. This will give more area for the sauce to marinade & reduce cooking time. Cook for 25- 30 mins
Chicken alternatives - Y bone steaks, lamb chops or even beef sausages would work well with this dish.
On a lighter note try fish such as Salmon or Barra.
Serving suggestion - Serve with brown rice, roasted peanuts, lime wedges & green veggies of choice.
Looking for a more lighter dish - serve with a Asian style slaw.
Portion size - This recipe serves 2-4. Double the recipe by adding a can of coconut cream/milk to the simmer sauce before marinating your chicken & veg.
Storage - This will keep in the fridge for 3 days. Suitable for freezing.
