Chicken Roasted On Sweet Potatoes And Garlic


I adapted this recipe from donna hay's flavours cookbook. In her recipe she used normal potatoes instead of sweet potatoes. But i prefered it with the sweet potatoes. A very delicious and simple recipe. Quick whip up.

Steps


Preheat oven to 200c.
Place oil , sweet potatoes , oregano , garlic , salt and pepper in baking dish and toss to combine.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or till potatoes are almost cooked.
While potatoes are cooking , brush chicken fillets with a little oil and sprinkle skin with extra salt and pepper.
Heat frying pan over medium-high heat , add chicken skin side down , and cook for 3 minutes till well browned.
Place chicken skin side up , on top of potatoes and garlic in baking dish.
Bake for a further 10 minutes or till chicken is cooked through , and juices run clear in the thickest part.
To serve , place the chicken and sweet potatoes on serving plates.
Squeeze the garlic from its skin and spread on the potatoes and chicken.
Serve with steamed beans and a squeeze of lemon.
