Clove Kitchen's tips

To ensure the chicken and capsicum char evenly, cook on the largest flattest baking tray you have - ideally a sheet pan, or the same tray you would bake cookies on. This will stop the dish from becoming too liquidy as it cooks.

Seriously good! I added zucchini and it worked well. They are absolutely delicious, as leftovers too. Good tip to avoid overcrowding the tray

I made this with chicken tenderloins and used part cauliflower, part capsicum. It was delicious! The marinade packs a real flavour punch. We served it as a bowl with rice, mexican corn, diced tomatoes, sour cream, guacamole, hot sauce and broken corn chips on top. Yum!

Yumo, this recipe is a keeper. So quick & easy & maximum flavour. We have lemons to spare so I grated some lemon zest over the finished children. I will definitely cook this again.

Simple, quick and flavoursome! As an amateur cook I found this recipe a breeze to follow. The chicken marinade is full of flavour, I reduced the chilli powder to ensure my kids could handle it. A wholesome, nutrient dense and filling meal for the whole family and plenty of room to cater for everyone with this one - for my kids (5 & 2 yrs) I used a small tortilla wrap with cucumber, baby spinach, tomato and a bit of mayo and they gobbled it up! Loved that I could use my home grown capsicum, limes and coriander. A bonus of not much to clean up too being a one tray bake. So much to love in this one!

This recipe is so delicious and was super easy to make! The vegetables worked so well together and had such good flavors. We added one additional zucchini and substituted chicken breast for chicken thighs. Will definitely be saving this recipe.

Super easy and delicious! Made this for a Sunday night dinner for three while I caught up on chores. I used cayenne pepper instead of chilli powder which worked well. The chicken breasts I was using were quite large, so I sliced them in half lengthways before cutting the strips. Will make again, especially when I’m feeding a few people and time poor. Making the seasoning from scratch is worth it. Delish!
