This recipe is very easy as you make it in one roasting dish and at only 400 calories per serving, 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.
