My homegrown vegetables are growing in abundance now and it’s time to harvest many of them. The weather’s turning and its getting colder everyday. Baked Chicken & Vegetables Casserole sounds so everyday and normal. But yeah, it’s made tastier coz it’s made with vegetables and herbs from my own veggie patch. 🙂

Ingredients:

  • 6 chicken thighs, skin and bone left on, excess fat and skin trimmed off
  • 3 chicken thigh fillets, excess fat trimmed, sliced into 3-4 pcs per fillet
  • 1 courgette, quartered lengthwise, cut into large chunks
