- Toss the chicken breasts with the garlic cloves, olive oil and seasoning. Coat the sweet potatoes in the olive oil, season and put in the oven for 30 minutes, until soft and beginning to caramelise. After 10 minutes, add the chicken breasts in a separate roasting tin.
- When the chicken is cooked, serve immediately with the sweet potato wedges, salsa and a green salad, if you like. You can marinate the chicken and make the salsa up to 24 hours ahead.
