Ingredients

  • 2 peppers, cut into wedges
  • 2 potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 700g chicken thigh fillets
  • 1 pot (100g) Shemin’s Tikka Paste
  • 150g natural yoghurt (or 400g coconut milk for dairy-free option)
  • 100g broccoli
  • A handful of cherry tomatoes
  • 1 red chilli, sliced (optional)
  • 1–2 tbsp oil (olive or vegetable)
  • Pinch of salt (optional)
  • Knob of butter (to finish)

How to make Chicken Tikka Traybake 

1. Prep the tray

Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Add the peppers, potatoes and cherry tomatoes to a large roasting tray.

2. Make the marinade

In a bowl, mix the Shemin’s Tikka Paste with the yoghurt (or coconut milk).

Spoon half of the marinade over the vegetables, add the oil and a pinch of salt if using, then toss everything to coat.

3. Coat the chicken

Add the chicken thighs to the remaining marinade and mix well until fully coated.

4. Roast

Place the marinated chicken on top of the vegetables in a single layer.
Roast for 30 minutes.

5. Finish cooking

Add the broccoli to the tray and return to the oven for a further 15 minutes.
Check the chicken is cooked through — piping hot with no pink in the centre.

6. Finish & serve

Remove from the oven and add a knob of butter, letting it melt into the sauce for extra richness.

Scatter over the sliced red chilli if using and serve straight from the tray.

Tips

Don’t overcrowd the tray
Keep everything in a single layer so it roasts rather than steams.

Chicken thighs work best
They stay juicy and take on the marinade beautifully.

More flavour
Marinate the chicken for a few hours or overnight if you have time.

Make it your own
Swap in courgettes, red onion, cauliflower or leftover roast veg.

Extra richness
A little butter at the end makes the sauce glossy and indulgent.
