Spanish Chicken Tray Bake

One pan dinners have become my new favourites in the kitchen, especially mid-week when I’m always pushed for time after work. This recipe has been so popular – probably because it’s packed with punchy flavours but it really couldn’t be easier to prepare. Chorizo sausage is one of my favourite ingredients and they freeze really well, so I always have them on hand to enliven any recipe, from my pilaf rice to tacos.  My family love it, and I hope it becomes a new family fav in your house too.
