Ingredients

2 red onions
3 mixed-colour peppers
4 chicken legs, skin on, bone-in
2 tablespoons Shemin’s Cajun Spice Blend
4 cloves garlic
Olive oil
Red wine vinegar
1 mug basmati rice (300g)
4 tablespoons natural yoghurt
Optional: extra virgin olive oil

How to make Cajun Chicken Traybake

Preheat the Oven:
Heat your oven to 200°C/400°F/gas 6.
Prepare the Vegetables & Chicken:
Peel and halve the onions. Tear the peppers into large chunks, removing the seeds and stalks. Place the onions, peppers, chicken legs, Shemin’s Cajun Spice Blend, and whole unpeeled garlic cloves in a roasting tray.
Season & Roast:
Drizzle everything with 1 tablespoon each of olive oil and red wine vinegar, season with black pepper, and toss well. Turn the chicken skin-side up and roast for 40 minutes.
Add the Rice:
Boil the kettle. Remove the tray from the oven and mash the soft garlic cloves into the tray juices, discarding the skins. Pour 1 mug of basmati rice and 2 mugs (600ml) of boiling water around the chicken. Cover the tray with tin foil and return to the oven for 20 minutes, or until the rice is fluffy and the chicken is tender.
Finish & Serve:
Season and serve with dollops of yoghurt, a sprinkle of black pepper, and an optional drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.

Tips

Tips:

Choose the Right Tray:
Use a 35cm x 25cm roasting tray or larger to ensure everything roasts evenly. Overcrowding the tray can cause the chicken and vegetables to steam instead of getting beautifully caramelised.
Cut Veggies in Big Chunks:
Tear the peppers into large chunks and halve the onions. This helps them hold their texture during roasting and avoids them turning mushy.
Boiling Water is Crucial:
When adding the rice, use freshly boiled water to ensure it cooks evenly and on time. Cold or lukewarm water may leave the rice undercooked.
