Cooking Instructions
Before you start
- 1 large baking tray
- 1 large mixing bowl
Get the wedges going
- Heat your oven to 220ºC/fan 200ºC/gas 7. Cut the sweet potatoes into wedges.
- Put the wedges on a large baking tray lined with baking paper, spritz with cooking spray and roast for 10 mins.
Spice things up!
- Meanwhile, peel and halve the onions, then cut 1 and a half (2 for 4 portions) into wedges. Deseed the peppers and dice into 3cm squares.
- Add the onion wedges, peppers, tomatoes, garlic paste, Cajun spice and chicken breasts to the baking tray, spritz with cooking spray and mix well to coat.
- Lightly season to taste with salt and roast for 20 mins.
Make your slaw
- At the same time, thinly slice the remaining half onion (whole onion for 4 portions) and coarsely grate the carrots. Core, trim and thinly slice the cabbage. Finely chop the parsley.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the slaw ingredients. Grate in the lime zest (from both limes for 4 portions), then squeeze in the juice (to taste).
- Add the yogurt, lightly season and mix well.
Add your finishing touches
- Use 2 forks to shred the chicken, then mix it back into the roasted vegetables. Serve the chicken and sweet potato bake with the slaw.
