Chicken Bake

Well we have not had a recipe for a while so here is another one of our favourite meals that we cook at home. We can’t make this on the boat due a lack of an oven so we make up for that by eating it a lot at home.

So for this one you will need (quantities based on two people):
· 2 chicken legs
· 2 medium sized sweet potatoes
· 1 bell pepper
· A handful of mushrooms
· A medium sized onion
· A handful of cherry tomatoes
· Mixed herbs
· Paprika
· Garlic power/fresh garlic
· Turmeric
· Cumin

First off mix all of your herbs and spices together. You need quite a decent quantity of them to fully coat all of the vegetables and chicken. Next take some baking foil and tear off a piece large enough to wrap all of your chick and vegetables in. Place the chicken in the middle of the foil, then cut up your vegetables in 2cm chunks. Place the vegetables into the foil then coat with the herb and spice mix. Wrap up the parcel then shake vigorously.

This dish is best prepared the night before to allow the chicken and vegetables to suck up the herb and spice mix. Place in a preheated oven at 180 degrees and allow to cook for 40 minutes, periodically shaking the parcel taking care not to burn yourself. Then serve hot from the oven.

Enjoy.
