How to make Chicken Tikka Traybake
Prepare the tray
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the peppers, potatoes and cherry tomatoes into a large, shallow
roasting tray.
Make the marinade
In a small bowl, mix the Shemin’s Tikka Paste with the yoghurt (or coconut milk if using). Pour
half of the marinade over the vegetables, add the oil and a pinch of salt (if using), then toss
to coat.
Step 3
Coat the chicken thighs in the remaining marinade. Do the same with the broccoli, then set the
broccoli aside.
Step 4
Lay the marinated chicken on top of the vegetables, making sure everything is in a single layer.
Roast for 30 minutes.
Step 5
Add the broccoli to the tray and return to the oven for a further 15 minutes. Check the chicken
is cooked through — it should be piping hot with no pink in the centre.
Step 6
Remove the tray from the oven and add a knob of butter, allowing it to melt into the sauce for
extra richness. Scatter over the sliced red chilli (if using) and serve straight from the tray.
Will Dewar –
These spicy little meatballs are delicious! I did change the recipe a little by adding breadcrumbs as my chicken mince was quite wet, I also rolled them in flour before cooking. I served mine in pitta breads with little gem lettuce, Parmesan cheese, mayo and Piri piri sauce and they were a big success with the family. I think I may do some chips or spicy rice next time!
