Chicken with Bacon and Potato in a Tray Bake – yes please!

For this recipe I used a simple store bought spice mix for my chicken. And the bacon…yes don’t you just love an artisanal piece of smoked or cured meat? We have some stunning local farmers that does just that (Richard Bosman is my fav). The smokiness is perfect in this recipe and the bacon literally crisps up in the oven. Baby potatoes are perfect for tray bakes, as they don’t take up too much space and cooks pretty quick – smash them and top them with spoonfuls of herby sauce for a flavour explosion.
