Prep Time20 minutes
Cook Time1 hour 10 minutes
Total Time1 hour 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 packed cup fresh parsley
  • 2-3 cloves garlic chopped
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 8 chicken thighs on the bone with skin
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 4 chorizo sausage links approx. 12 oz
  • 4-6 medium carrots
  • 2 corn on cob
  • 8 oz green beans
  • 2 large sweet peppers or 8-12 mini sweet peppers dependent upon size
  • 4 large shallots
  • 8 oz tomatoes
  • 6 oz blueberries 1 cup

Instructions

  • In a blender, blend together parsley, garlic and oil and set aside.
  • Rinse chicken and pat dry with paper towels and then place them in a large bowl.
  • Drizzle parsley mixture over chicken and coat all sides and then season with salt and pepper.
  • Arrange chicken thighs on a large parchment lined sheet pan. Leave plenty space around each piece so that the marinated juices flow all over the sheet pan when cooking.
  • Place sheet pan in a preheated oven at 400 and cook chicken for 40 minutes.
  • While the chicken is in the oven, prepare the vegetables. Peel and cut the carrots in half - lengthways.
  • Cut corn into three or four pieces, trim beans, peel and cut shallots into chunks and cut tomatoes into equal halves or quarters.
  • If using large sweet peppers cut them in half and deseed them and then cut them into chunks
  • After 40 minutes the chicken should be only a touch golden, remove from the oven and place on top of the stove.
  • Place the balance of the ingredients around the pre-cooked chicken. First, place the chorizo sausages near the center in between the chicken pieces.
  • Methodically arrange the carrots on the sheet pan and coat them on both sides with the juices released from the chicken.
  • Arrange the corn on the sheet pan in the same way as the carrots, coating all sides with the juices from the chicken.
  • Arrange 3-4 green beans at a time in available spaces and then wedge sweet peppers and shallots into available spaces.
  • Arrange tomatoes throughout and then sprinkle half the amount of blueberries throughout and save the balance for serving.
  • Return sheet pan to the oven for a further 30 minutes, turning the corn and carrots after 15 minutes. The chicken should be golden with crispy skin and the vegetables cooked and just a little charred in places once done.
  • Sprinkle balance of blueberries and serve.
