5g
1 tsp dried oregano
5g
3 potatoes
600g
1 red onion
160g
1 red pepper
80g
1 large zucchini
300g
1/2 cup olives
120g
1/2 cup chicken gravy
100g

Instructions:

2. Prepare the Vegetables:
- Peel and chop the potatoes into bite-sized chunks.
- Slice the red onion into wedges.
- Cut the red pepper into strips.
- Slice the zucchini into rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference.
3. Season the Chicken:
- In a large mixing bowl, sprinkle the chicken thighs with paprika and dried oregano.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Rub the spices evenly over the chicken thighs to ensure they are well-coated.
4. Assemble the Bake:
- In a large baking dish, layer the potatoes, red onion, red pepper, and zucchini, spreading them out evenly.
- Scatter the olives over the vegetables.
- Place the seasoned chicken thighs on top of the vegetable mixture.
5. Add the Gravy:
- Pour the chicken gravy evenly over the entire dish. This will help keep the chicken moist and add flavor to the vegetables.
6. Bake:
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven.
- Bake for approximately 45-55 minutes, or until the chicken thighs are fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C) and the vegetables are tender.
7. Serve:
- Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Serve the Spanish chicken bake hot, directly from the baking dish.

Tips:

- For a deeper flavor, marinate the chicken thighs with the paprika and oregano for at least 30 minutes before baking.

- Cut the potatoes, red onion, red pepper, and zucchini into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.

- Check the dish occasionally while baking and add a splash of chicken gravy if it seems too dry.

- Use an ovenproof dish large enough to spread the ingredients in a single layer for even roasting.

- Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro for a fresh and vibrant finish before serving.

This Spanish chicken bake is sure to become a favorite in your household. The combination of tender chicken, well-seasoned vegetables, and the savory hint of olives creates a perfect balance of flavors. Serve with a side salad or some crusty bread to round out this delightful meal.
