Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 pieces chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons Peri Peri seasoning (see note 1)
  • 2 pieces onions (sliced)
  • 2 pieces sweet potatoes (peeled and cubed)
  • 4 pieces mini corn on the cobs (cut in half)
  • 1 tablespoon Peri Peri seasoning (for additional flavor)
  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro (for garnish)
  • 1 piece red chili (sliced, optional for extra heat)

Equipment

  • Large baking tray
  • Mixing bowl
  • Sharp knife
  • Measuring spoons

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into bite-sized cubes, and slice the onions into wedges. Cut the mini corn cobs in half if using fresh corn.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken breasts with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of Peri Peri seasoning until well-coated.
  4. On a large baking tray, spread out the seasoned chicken breasts. Surround them with the chopped sweet potatoes, onion wedges, and mini corn. Drizzle with an additional tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with another tablespoon of Peri Peri seasoning, tossing the vegetables gently.
  5. Bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
  6. Remove from the oven, let it rest, garnish with cilantro and sliced red chili, and serve straight from the tray.

Notes

  • For best results, marinate the chicken with Peri Peri seasoning for a few hours or overnight.
  • Adjust the spiciness by adding more or less Peri Peri seasoning to taste.
  • Check the chicken towards the end of cooking to prevent it from drying out.
