We all know that when it comes to dinner time, fuss-free is the way to go. When you are out to save some time and energy, nothing else beats an all-in-one-supper like this Chicken, Bacon and Potato Tray Bake. 
Add this easy dinner recipe to your repertoire and you might just be scoring brownie points from the family AND you can just chill for a bit with a glass of wine…
The great thing about this easy chicken tray bake is that it combines a simple, balanced meal with chicken thighs, bacon, baby potatoes, vine tomatoes and a very flavorful herb sauce. Because really, none of us has the muster to cook a meal that takes up all of your time (and most of your pans).
I used a store bought spice mix for my chicken and I loved the smoky bacon that literally crisps up in the oven for that crunch effect. 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 flavor explosion.
