Hormonal balance: simple chicken and cruciferous veg traybake recipe

Chicken traybake

Who loves a traybake?

Traybakes are every busy person’s best friend  They are an absolute joy for midweek meals. Simply throw everything together into a tray place in the oven and leave to cook. More time to put your feet up! The extra cherry on top? There is barely any washing up to do! 

This chicken in a garlic and chili marinade has a host of cruciferous goodness of sprouts, broccoli and cabbage. Serve with a side of brown rice. 

Recipe

Chicken marinade 

4 large chicken legs

3 tbsp olive oil

1 red chilli chopped

2 cloves garlic minced

Combine and leave to marinade in a bowl for a least 30 minutes. I like to prep in the morning and leave covered in the fridge ready for the evening.

Into a roasting tin place:

The marinade chicken legs

2 cups of sprouts sliced

2 cups broccoli chopped

1 cup diced cabbage 

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 tsp honey

3 chopped spring onions

Handful of coriander 

Juice of 2 limes

Method

In a preheated 200c oven, place the chicken in the roasting tin. Allow to cook for 10 minutes. Remove and add the other ingredients and combine. Cook for approximately a further 30 minutes until the chicken’s juices run clear.

Enjoy!
