Spanish Chicken Bake With Easy Recipe

Why we love this Spanish chicken bake

We’ve added a generous amount of delicious Manzanilla Olives from Spain. These guys are buttery and have the most amazing flavor. Spanish chorizo. We ♥ you. Crispy bits of kale. Give it up for a one-pan dinner! 15 easy minutes of prep and this pan is ready to go into the oven and cook itself while you pour yourself a glass of wine and congratulate yourself on your pro kitchen skills. It’s a healthy recipe that’s Whole30 and dairy, sugar, and gluten-free.

Why we love Olives from Spain

Olives from Spain are really special and these Spanish Manzanilla Olives are the best I’ve tried. They have the most beautiful and subtle flavor that’s truly delicious. Try putting out a plate at a party; they won’t last long. (I’ve had friends nearly lose their minds when I’ve shared these with them. They’re that good.) But these little green gems are good for more than snacking on, they’re great to cook with. I love adding them to rich chicken dishes, like this chicken and chorizo bake, or this Spanish Chicken and Cauliflower Rice. We eat a lot of Olives from Spain around here. I love that they’re healthy and I can feel good about feeding them to my family. My daughter loves these Spanish Manzanilla but goes CRAZY for Hojiblanca Olives from Spain. 1 out of every two olives eaten in Canada is from Spain and I’m fairly certain that she’s responsible for those numbers.

What ingredients are in a Spanish Chicken Bake?

Don’t be fooled by the shorter ingredient list. This Spanish chicken tray bake is full of flavor. We accomplish this by using boldly-flavored ingredients.

Manzanilla Olives from Spain – their flavor works so well in savory chicken recipes like this one. Chicken thighs – they are so much more flavorful than chicken breasts and stay juicy even after a long bake in a hot oven. Spanish chorizo – a little goes a long way to really boost the flavor. Spanish paprika – beautifully smoky. Veggies – we’re looking at you, onions, garlic, and peppers. You three are tasty. Kale – this may not be about flavor, but the kale that’s at the top gets crispy and provides a delicious contrast.

What to serve with Spanish Chicken Bake

This is easily a one pot dinner recipe. Two juicy chicken thighs plus a whole heap of veggies is our idea of the perfect meal. But if you’d like a little something extra, these recipes go great with this chicken:
