This lime chicken traybake has become my go to weeknight dinner because everything cooks together in one pan, which means minimal cleanup. The bright red curry sauce gets its amazing depth from Thai curry paste, and the fresh lime juice adds a zesty kick that keeps things interesting. Chicken thighs are so forgiving and stay juicy throughout cooking, plus they're packed with iron and B vitamins that white meat doesn't have in such abundance. With just ten minutes of prep and fifty minutes in the oven, you'll have a restaurant quality meal on the table without any fuss.
