Mediterranean Chicken Tray Bake
This is the perfect meal served with bread or with Rice or this quinoa.
There is minimal effort required here but so much FLAVOUR and if you don't have time to marinade, you don't have to!
All the flavours together make for the most incredible meal! The Potatoes soak up all that flavour and the Chicken is super moist.
