Before you start

  • Preheat the oven to 200C / fan 180C / gas mark 6
  • Line 2 baking trays with parchment paper
  • Pull out a large frying pan, a sieve & a medium bowl

Oven time

  • Cut the potatoes and sweet potato into wedges, then place onto the lined baking tray
  • Toss with the dried garlic, paprika, Italian dried herbs, 1 tsp oil and a pinch of salt and pepper
  • Roast for 25-30 mins, turning halfway, until soft and golden

Make the salsa

  • Drain the sweetcorn
  • Heat the large frying pan with 1 tsp oil on high heat. Once hot, add the corn and cook for 4-5 mins, until golden brown, then transfer to the medium bowl
  • Roughly chop the coriander. Dice the avocado. Quarter the tomatoes. Halve the lime
  • Add all to the sweetcorn bowl with the juice from the lime. Season with salt and pepper and mix

Roast the chicken

  • Lay the chicken flat onto the other lined baking tray and coat with the harissa, 1 tsp oil and a pinch of salt and pepper
  • Roast for 16 mins, or until cooked through

Plate up

  • Check your chicken is cooked through by inserting a skewer into the thickest part of the meat; the juices should run clear
  • Serve the harissa chicken on plates, with the potato wedges and salsa alongside
