This citrus chicken traybake is an easy but impressive weeknight dinner recipe to add to your repertoire. Adding sweet and juicy whole clementines at the end of the roasting gives a twist on a typical chicken dinner and makes this midweek meal a bit special.

If you’re looking for something different, but simple, to make with chicken, this easy citrus chicken traybake is just what you need.
