Lemon & Oregano Chicken Bake (Gluten Free, Dairy Free)

Hello everyone, welcome to my latest recipe for Gluten Free and Dairy Free Lemon & Oregano Chicken Bake.

This recipe is actually a reminder of Christmas holidays which seem ages away now.  I made this in between Christmas and New Year and it disappeared into that place in my computer with all the other recipes waiting to be typed up.

Since then I’ve actually made a variation of it which I’ll share in the coming weeks.  My sister liked the sound of the recipe but isn’t a fan of lemony things.  I’ve adapted a version of this to be tomato based with lots of nice Spanish flavours.  Hope you all have a good evening.
