Honey and miso chicken traybake by Leah Itsines

One-tray bakes are a dream! I’m always looking for something that’s quick and easy at night, because we’re all so busy, so a throw-together meal is the best.

SERVES 4

PREP TIME 10 minutes

COOK TIME 35 minutes

4 large skin-on boneless chicken thighs, trimmed

10 baby potatoes, halved

1 bunch (about 150 g/5½ oz) asparagus

1 bunch (about 150 g/5½ oz) broccolini

Steamed basmati rice or a mixed salad, to serve


HONEY-MISO PASTE

1 tablespoon white miso paste

2 tablespoons sesame oil

2 garlic cloves, crushed

2 cm (¾ in) knob of ginger, grated

2 spring onions (scallions), thinly sliced

2 teaspoons gochujang or chilli paste

2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons water

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) fan-forced. Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
  2. To make the honey-miso paste, combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
  3. Place the chicken thighs and potatoes into the prepared baking tray. Pour over three-quarters of the miso mixture and toss to coat. If you have time, you can leave this to marinate in the fridge for as long as you can before cooking.
  4. Bake for 15 minutes. Add the asparagus and broccolini and the remaining miso mixture then toss to coat and bake for a further 20 minutes or until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Serve with rice or a salad.

Leahʼs notes
This is a perfect meal prep recipe, but also, the chicken is great for leftovers! Throw it into a wrap, pies or a salad.
