Ingredients:
- 4 chicken breasts
- 400g potato and/or sweet potato

- 1 large tomato
- 1 green or red pepper
- 2 small red chilli
- 2 garlic clove
- Juice and rind of half a lemon
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1/2 white onion

Method:
1.Cut the chicken into strips and place in a glass bowl. Preheat the oven to 190.
2. Next, put all of the ingredients for the peri-peri sauce in a blender, and mix until fully chopped and combined. Place 3/4 of the sauce over the chicken and leave to marinate for as long a possible.
3. While the chicken is marinating, chop up the potatoes, and season with olive oil, salt, pepper, and oregano. Bake for 30-40 minutes (until crispy).
