Chicken traybake recipes

When you’re looking for a stress-free dinner that won’t leave you with lots of washing up, a chicken traybake is an easy answer. There’s a reason traybake cookbooks are some of the top-selling of the last five years, the promise of a quick, effortless meal using as little equipment as possible has instant appeal.

We’ve got all sorts of recipes for a quick and flavourful chicken dinner. From a show-stopping whole roast chicken with harissa, flatbreads and preserved lemon yogurt, to fuss-free paprika chicken thighs with rosemary potatoes and aioli, the flavours of each dish here intensify in the oven to create something even better than the sum of its parts. Our lemon, ginger and coriander chicken is another example: what’s not to love about a three-step recipe with this much flavour?

Go for something a bit different with Honey & Co’s chicken, plum and sweet spice traybake, or dive in for something extra meaty in the form of our bacon-wrapped chicken traybake with caponata. These dinners are so good they’re more than suitable for a dinner party, but they’re fuss-free enough to make any night of the week for the family too.
