Jamie Oliver Traybaked Chicken

This dish is super tasty. I used 3# boneless chicken breast and cut it into tender-sized strips, which reduced the roasting time to about 30 minutes. I just prefer it to thigh. The advantage of cutting the chicken into strips is a shorter and more consistent bake. The disadvantage is that you need only 30 minutes, which means the garlic won't be mellow / edible.

The original recipe, hyperlinked below, has a slightly different name which seemed a bit aggressive, so I named it after the author here instead.

Jamie Oliver

4 tomatoes, or, 1 pint cherry tomatoes
2 red onions, in quarters
1 red bell pepper, in chunks
1 yellow bell pepper, in chunks
3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken, in strips
4 cloves garlic, unpeeled, smashed
1/2 bunch thyme
1 tsp smoked paprika
2 T balsamic vinegar

Preheat the oven to 350.

Quarter the tomatoes and place them in a large bowl. Add onions, peppers, garlic, and chicken.

Top with thyme leaves and sprinkle over the paprika. Then add 2 T oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss together to coat, then spread onto your cooking tray.

Roast for around 30 minutes, or until the chicken is golden and cooked through.

Curried Chicken Soup

I made this soup so often in the 1990s, but frankly had forgotten about it. Flipping through this cookbook, I found this recipe and was flooded with memories. When I was in grad school, this soup was my "feeling decadent" food and reminded me of something people might eat after hitting the slopes -- a thing I have never done. A few decades long, and with a lot more experience with cooking, I realize that this is basically a chicken curry with a thin sauce and the rice already in the meal -- but don't let that in any way discourage you! It's delicious as is and is a wonderful take on what is otherwise chicken and rice soup. I have become a fan of using rotisserie chickens, especially during the pandemic. They are so cheap, and I can use the meat in a soup like this on the day-of grocery shopping, and, crunch the bones down for the freezer for making stock in the future. Of course, this soup can be made with a fresh chicken, but I have modified the recipe bel...
