Curry Chicken & Rice Tray Bake

Introduction

I have a bit of a love–hate relationship with my oven. I love that it’s essentially hands-off cooking — just pop something in, and the oven does all the work — but I hate how long it can take. That’s why I don’t usually turn to it on weeknights… until I attempted this curry chicken and rice tray bake!

I love the idea of adding everything into a baking dish, popping it in the oven, and then going off to enjoy my life while it cooks. No hovering over the stove, no juggling multiple pans: just one tray, one bake, and dinner is done.

The result? Tender, spiced chicken pieces nestled amidst rice, with little bursts of tomato and potato. It’s a complete meal that’s comforting, satisfying, and feels like the kind of meal that took way more effort than it actually did!
