Honestly, this Indian spiced chicken tray bake has become a favorite in my household. It’s easy, healthy and totally customizable. What’s not to love?

Recently, I’ve been on a mission to incorporate more veggies into everyday meals. You know that I love fresh vegetables in my diet, this vegetable fried rice is such a great example.

Well, coming to the recipe, the two core ingredients in this tray bake recipe include chicken and vegetables. I used chicken thigh fillets that are easy to marinate and quick to cook. Having said that, breast fillets or even drumsticks taste delicious in this recipe.

I also marinated chicken in few aromatic spices like smoked paprika and ground cumin. You’ll also need lemon zest and lemon juice to make it more delicious. This chicken is loaded with flavors, and it’s going to make you drool.

For the vegetables, choose your favorites or beautiful summer produce from your garden. Bell peppers (capsicum), cauliflower, potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, beets – all go really well with the flavors in chicken.

To make this chicken tray bake, you’ll need to marinate all the ingredients, arrange them in a baking tray and bake for about 30 minutes. Easy! But incredibly delicious!

Finish with a generous sprinkle of coriander (cilantro) or mint leaves. There you go. Super healthy dinner ready in just 30 minutes. Yum!
