Ingredients

  • 4 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
  • 2 red onions, cut into wedges
  • 200g Essential Cherry Tomatoes
  • tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 clove/s garlic, unpeeled
  • 150ml chicken stock
  • 25g pack flat leaf parsley, leaves finely chopped
  • 25g roasted chopped hazelnuts
  • 1 unwaxed lemon, zest of all, juice of 1/2
  • 250g pouch Merchant Gourmet Smoky Spanish Style Grains & Rice

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200oC, gas mark 6. Put the chicken, onions and tomatoes in a large roasting tin, in a single layer. In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp oil with the paprika; season and drizzle over the chicken and veg. Toss to coat, leaving the chicken skin-side up. Add the garlic to the tin, then roast for 25 minutes. Pour in the stock (avoiding the chicken skin); return to the oven for a further 10 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix together the parsley, hazelnuts, lemon zest and juice with the remaining 1⁄2 tbsp oil. When the traybake is cooked, remove the garlic and squeeze it out of its skin into the bowl with the parsley mixture; mash to combine, then season.

  3. Transfer the chicken to a plate, stir the grains through the vegetables in the tin, then put the chicken back on top. Return the traybake to the oven for a final 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked, the juices run clear and no pink meat remains. Scatter over the hazelnut and parsley mixture to serve.
