Lemon Herb Chicken Traybake With Butter Beans Potato Wedges Recipes

LEMON HERB BUTTER ROAST CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
• Mix all the lemon herb butter ingredients together in a small bowl. Use the zest from the lemon you'll use with the chicken. (You only need one lemon)
• Cut the lemon in half and remove as many seeds as possible. Place the carrots, shallots, apple, and herbs in the bottom of a baking pan.
• Dry the chicken with paper towels then spread half the butter under the skin on the breasts. Using your hands, make small pockets between the flesh and the skin near the cavity side of the chicken. Stuff some butter into the pockets then use your hands to push it up over the whole breasts. Try to stuff some more butter under the skin around the legs. Be careful not to break the skin. Use half the butter under the skin and rub the remaining butter over the skin.
• Place the butter rubbed chicken on top of the veggies in the pan. Squeeze the lemon juice over the top then nestle the lemon halves beside the chicken. Roast the chicken for 45 minutes then turn the oven down to 350 degrees and roast for another 45 minutes.
• Remove the chicken from the oven and place it on a serving platter. Spoon the veggies out of the pan and place them beside the chicken. Discard the lemon and herbs. Pour the remaining juices into a bowl and serve beside the chicken.

• Arrange the chicken skin side up, potatoes, and onions on the prepared baking pan. I like to lightly season everything with salt and pepper once arranged on the pan to ensure it is seasoned well before going in the oven.
• Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake, covered, for 40 minutes.
• Uncover, toss the potatoes around and spoon some of pan juices over the chicken. Top with lemon slices, and continue baking, uncovered, for additional 25-30 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked and potatoes are tender.

LEMON & HERB CHICKEN TRAYBAKE WITH BUTTER BEANS & POTATO WEDGES

Steps:

• Cut the potatoes into large wedges, then toss well in a large bowl with 2 tbsp of the olive oil and some salt. Spread the wedges out on a baking tray.
• Fry the onion and garlic in the remaining olive oil over a low heat until soft and translucent. Add the tomatoes, butter beans, and some seasoning. Simmer for a few minutes, then pour into a baking tin or dish.
• Mix a pinch of salt with the herbs. Stuff equal amounts under the skin of each chicken thigh. Put a slice of lemon on top of each thigh, then arrange on top of the tomato and bean mixture in the baking tin.
• Bake the wedges and chicken traybake in the oven at 180C/160C fan/gas 4 for 45 mins until the chicken is cooked through. Check the potatoes after about 30 mins, shaking them around in the tray - depending on the size of the wedges, they may already be cooked through.
