Method
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a large flameproof roasting tin, then fry the chicken, skin side down, and the potatoes for 8 mins or until the chicken skin is crisp and golden. Turn the chicken and potatoes, then continue to cook for a further minute.
- Add the thyme and garlic, then stir to coat everything.
- Roast everything for 15 mins until the potatoes are soft. Remove the tray from the oven and throw in the peppers, orange segments and olives and roast for 5 mins more until the chicken and potatoes are completely cooked. To serve, bring the tray to the table and let everyone help themselves.

This was very tasty and so easy although we did have to adjust the cooking times a little as the potatoes weren't cooked through in the time stated. Next time I would slice the potatoes and oranges more thinly and probably use fresh thinly sliced peppers instead of bottled, and chuck it all in at the beginning of stage 3. We also used chicken thighs which worked well and gave good flavour. Destined to become a weekday staple in our house, I think.
I replaced the jar peppers with fresh red peppers. You need to add the peppers earlier in the cooking time to give them time to soften but not dry out. I also added peeled shallots at the same time as the potatoes. I added a good twist of lemon pepper towards the end of the cooking time of the chicken and potatoes.
I loved this - however, the boys in the family hated it. To take account of their liking for spicy food, I included Cajun spices when I fried the chicken. They liked that a lot! To help pad it out a little (and reduce the potatoes) I used mushrooms, which they also liked a lot. However, my hubby hated the potatoes and the both of them hated the orange. ~shrug~ I loved it and served it with a little green salad dressed in a little Balsamic vinegar. YUM!
