  2. Grab a baking tray and pour in your risoni, followed by the boiling stock. Give it a gentle stir to make sure they're going to be best friends.
  3. Layer on the onion, capsicum, cherry tomatoes, olives, and lemon slices. It's like a party on a tray!
  4. Place your seasoned chicken thighs on top, like they're sunbathing on a beach of deliciousness.
  5. Cover with foil and pop into the oven at 200°C for 25 minutes. Then, unveil it to the world (or just your kitchen) and bake for another 10 minutes to get that golden glow.
  6. Remove the chicken, give the risoni and veggies a good mix to ensure they've soaked up all those flavors.
  7. And voilà! Your Mediterranean Chicken Tray Bake is ready to impress. Not only is it bursting with flavor, but it's also super easy to make. Perfect for weeknights, impressing guests, or just treating yourself because you deserve it!
