This recipe is very easy as you make it in one roasting dish. Ideal for a family weeknight or a Valentine’s dinner, and at only 400 calories per serving, so it’s great if you’re watching your weight.
If the calories don’t worry you too much, just add some more spuds and a bit more chorizo. The tomatoes and chorizo release all their juices into the pan and make a wonderful sauce for the chicken, which is delicious when combined with the sweetness of the roasted garlic! If you’re making this for two, simply halve the ingredients.
