Dinner, 29/10/14: Chicken and Vegetable Bake

It's an odd week for dinners, as Alex has had to be at rehearsal or performances every night at 6pm (until 10 or so), so he's not eating with us. Sarah is away in Cornwall with a friend for the half-term week and I am chaperoning at Gang Show performances quite a few of the nights.  But this night, we were watching from the audience, and while that meant dropping Alex for 6pm, then coming home and going back to the theatre for a 7.30 performance, there was just enough time to eat, as long as it was something I could shove in the oven to cook itself while I was driving to and from Sutton.  So, chicken thighs on top of potatoes and some vegetables (what we had in the fridge, plus some baby fennel).  Such an easy meal - essentially cooks itself, which is perfect for a night like this.
