Portuguese Freezer Chicken Bake

I was very sceptical as I had to take a few liberties with this recipe..at one point, I thought we might need to stick on a pizza for dinner. Firstly I couldn't get fire roasted tomatoes. I added half tsp of smoked paprika to regular tinned tomatoes to get a little smokiness. A full tsp would have been better. Also couldn't get red wine vinegar so used sherry vinegar. Also, I wanted a bit more spice so added some chipotle chilli flakes for smoke and spice. Mine needed 1hr 40 but it came together. Overall, a little sweet for me but my husband really liked it. It will be interesting to see if the flavour develops deeper when we have the leftovers tomorrow.

I used 2 cans of chopped tomatoes instead of the "fire roasted toms", added a few fresh cherry tomatoes too.

I freezed it first, the potatoes wouldn't cook throw gh after I defrosted it. The flavor was there though, may try again.

Really yummy, sweet and savory mix! the onions and potatoes came out great, the carrots are still a little too firm for me. I may try smaller carrots next time. I accidentally got bone in chicken thighs but it’s still yummy- just harder to eat!

Mine didn't turn out as pretty, but it was delicious. Had to chop the veggies a bit smaller to reduce the cooking time.

It was good
