Steps

  1. Start by marinating the chicken. In a bowl, mix the ketchup, olive oil, tandoori masala, salt and pepper.
  2. Add the chicken to the marinade and let it sit for at least 1 hour.
  3. Preheat the oven to 350F/175C.
  4. Grease a baking dish with olive oil and add the carrots, mushrooms and garlic.
  5. Add the chicken to the baking dish and spread the marinade on top.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the chicken is completely cooked.
  7. Serve hot.

Tips for Tandoori Style Chicken with Carrots and Mushrooms

  • The vegetables should be tender with lightly browned edges, while the chicken should look opaque throughout and feel juicy rather than dry.
  • Use a dish that holds the chicken and vegetables in a fairly even layer; crowding can make the vegetables soften without browning.
  • The stated 45-minute total does not include the minimum 1-hour marinade, so allow extra time or marinate the chicken ahead in the refrigerator.

Drink pairing

Storage
