Chicken thigh, courgette and blackberry traybake

A gorgeous chicken thigh traybake for late summer, this simple recipe embraces seasonal gluts of courgettes and blackberries. Why it’s so good: Beautifully fall-apart braised vegetables, crispy chicken, sweet and sharp brambles and salty olives – it has everything and requires just 10 minutes of prep. What to serve it with: We like the dish served with crusty bread and thickly spread salted butter, but for something more substantial, a grain like rice or couscous is delicious and soaks up the juices nicely. Easy swaps: This dish works with stone fruit too: wedges of peach, nectarine or plums are all fantastic fruity options. You can’t go wrong with an easy chicken dinner.
