Ingredients

  • 2 red onions, cut into wedges
  • 500g kipfler or small potatoes, quartered lengthways
  • 8 whole garlic cloves, unpeeled
  • 3 large tomatoes, quartered
  • 75g chorizo
  • 4 Chicken Marylands
  • 1 tsp sweet smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 green capsicum, cut into strips
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat to 200°C.
  2. Prepare Vegetables: In a large roasting tin, combine onions, potatoes, garlic, and tomatoes. Season with salt and black pepper, then toss to mix well. Roast for 25 minutes.
  3. Prepare Chorizo and Chicken: Thinly slice the chorizo. Make 2–3 slashes in each Chicken Maryland and season with black pepper. In a small bowl, mix paprika and oregano; set aside.
  4. Add Chorizo and Chicken: Remove the roasting tin from the oven. Turn the vegetable mixture. Place chorizo slices on top, then add the chicken on top of everything. Sprinkle with the paprika-oregano mix. Return to the oven for 25 minutes.
  5. Add Capsicum: Remove the tin, baste the chicken with pan juices, and add the capsicum strips. Return to the oven and cook for another 25 minutes until the chicken is golden.
  6. Serve: Rest chicken for 5 minutes. Serve with a green salad.

Notes

  • Low-Fat Option: Remove the skin from the chicken and chorizo before cooking.
  • Serving Suggestion: Pair with crusty bread or a fresh green salad.
  • Variation: Substitute green capsicum with red or yellow for a sweeter flavor.
