Put into a large labelled freezer bag and freeze flat.
To cook in the oven:
Remove from the freezer and leave to fully defrost. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Pour the mix into a large baking tray and arrange the chicken thighs so they are on top of the vegetables. Cook for 35 minutes, until golden and delicious.
