Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C.
- Cut the potatoes into thick wedges and place in a roasting tin with the oil. Sprinkle with the piri piri seasoning and roast for 45 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the chicken breasts between clingfilm and bash with a rolling pin until flattened slightly. Put the lime juice and zest, and honey in a large dish. Season to taste and add the chicken and toss to coat. Leave to marinate for 30 minutes while the potatoes are cooking.
- To make the salsa, mix the red onion with the tomatoes, lime juice, chilli and coriander and chill until ready to serve.
- Heat a griddle pan and cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes on each side until tender and cooked through with no pink showing. Serve with the oven chips, salsa and lime wedges.
