Ingredients
  

For the Chicken and Vegetables:
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 pieces chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons peri peri seasoning
  • 2 pieces onions
  • 2 pieces sweet potatoes
  • 4 pieces mini corn on the cobs
  • 1 tablespoon peri peri seasoning
  • to taste Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • 1 piece red chili finely chopped

Equipment

  • Large Baking Tray
  • Mixing bowl
  • Cutting board and knife
  • Measuring Spoons

Method
 

Preparation Steps:
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that the chicken and vegetables roast perfectly.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken breasts with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of peri peri seasoning. Make sure each piece is well coated.
  3. While the chicken marinates, peel and chop the sweet potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Slice the onions into wedges. If you’re using mini corn on the cobs, cut them in half.
  4. On a large baking tray, spread the sweet potatoes and onion wedges evenly. Place the marinated chicken breasts on top, followed by the corn. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the vegetables.
  5. Sprinkle an additional tablespoon of peri peri seasoning over the entire tray. Pop it into the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are tender.
  6. Once out of the oven, let the tray bake rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro and chopped red chili for an extra kick. Serve warm and enjoy the burst of flavors!

Notes

  • Feel free to swap chicken breasts for thighs for a juicier option.
  • Use any vegetables you have on hand for versatility.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
