There’s something incredibly satisfying about a tray bake dinner. Just toss everything onto one pan, pop it in the oven, and in next to no time you’ve got a complete meal full of robust flavours.

This rose harissa chicken tray bake is a perfect example – a vibrant, boldly-spiced dish that comes together with minimal fuss.

The name gives away the two main ingredients: rose harissa, a fragrant North African spice paste, and succulent chicken thighs. But it’s the supporting cast of vegetables, chunky chorizo, and a glug of red wine that really brings this tray bake to life. As it roasts, the harissa’s warm spices bloom and mingle with the crispy chicken skin, tender veggies, and rich chorizo oil. A bright squeeze of lemon cuts through the deep flavours at the end.

This is a hearty yet bright meal that captures the essence of laid-back Mediterranean cooking.

Just prep a few ingredients, then let the oven do the hard work for you. Serve it up with some couscous on the side and you’ve got an easy, delicious dinner for any night of the week.
