Mexican-style chicken tray bake

Bring some exotic flavour to the table this week with our Mexican-style chicken tray bake. All ingredients go in the one pan meaning minimal washing up.

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Then line a deep baking tray with baking paper. Combine the chicken thigh cutlets and taco seasoning in a large bowl. Toss to coat. Pour the mild tomato salsa evenly over the base of the tray. Arrange pumpkin, onion, capsicum and cherry tomatoes over the salsa. Top with the spiced chicken and drizzle with oil.

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Set aside for 5 minutes to rest. While the tray bake is resting, make some chilli-lime cream to serve with it. Just take some sour cream and stir in chilli sauce and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper.

To finish the tray bake, arrange avocado and radish over the top. Then drizzle with some of the chilli-lime cream.
