This is such a simple low FODMAP week night dish, easy to do after work and always popular with the kids. It’s great because you just heat the oven, put all the ingredients onto one large tray and pop it in the oven for about 45 minutes, giving it a shake half way through and that’s it. I like to serve it with some wilted spinach flavoured with a sprinkle of nutmeg.

- A good pinch of salt and pepper to season
Instructions

Followed the recipe but the cook time was off. Cooked at 360 F° for 1 hour and chicken is not cooked and potatoes are hard. Help…
Hi Erika, sorry to hear about your problems with the recipe. I had a look at the post and I will update the oven temperature guide, I said 180c which is fan oven temp so this would be equivalent to 400f and would explain your problems. I will update it, Best wishes, Louisa
