Introduction:

Simple but flavour packed, this Potato, Leek and Chicken Traybake is the perfect mid-week meal for a busy household. Throw the ingredients in a dish when you get home, pop the tray in the oven and leave to cook. Packed with delicious flavours, a traybake also creates little washing up… bonus!

Ingredients:

• 4 Chicken Legs
• 400 g Baby Potatoes
• 3 Leeks, washed & tougher outer leaves removed
• 1 Small Onion, sliced
• 3 Garlic Cloves, crushed
• Sea Salt & Ground Black Pepper, to season

Method

1. Pre-heat the oven to 210°C.
2. Chop the washed leeks into large chunks.
3. Add the whole potatoes to a large roasting tray. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt & pepper. Roast for 20 minutes.
4. Once the potatoes have been roasting for 20 minutes, remove the tray and add the onion, garlic and leeks. Give the veg a mix and then place the chicken legs on top.
5. Drizzle the whole mixture with a little more oil and season generously before popping the tray in the oven.
6. Roast the whole mixture for 45 minutes.
