Number of Servings:
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cups - snipped fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoons - finely shredded lime peel
- 2 cloves - garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoons - salt
- 1 pinchs - crushed red pepper
- 2 1/2 pounds - meaty chicken pieces (breast halves, thighs, or drumsticks)
- 8 ounces - Brussels sprouts, halved if large
- 3 tablespoons - olive oil
- 1 - pound sweet potatoes, peeled if desired, and cut into 1-inch chunks
- 2 - medium cooking apples (Fuji, Gala, or Cortland) cored and each cut into 8 wedges
- - Lime slices
Directions:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a large shallow baking pan with foil, if desired; set aside.
In a small bowl combine cilantro, lime peel, garlic, salt, and crushed red pepper. Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Rub herb mixture evenly over chicken pieces.
Arrange chicken in prepared baking pan. Add Brussels sprouts to pan. Drizzle chicken and sprouts with 2 tablespoons of the oil. Roast, uncovered, for 20 minutes, stirring sprouts once.
Add sweet potatoes and apples to pan (or divide mixture between two baking pans if crowded). Drizzle with remaining oil and toss to coat.
Roast for 15 to 20 minutes more or until an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F in the thickest part of the breast and at least 170 degrees F in the thighs or drumsticks and vegetables are tender.
Garnish with additional cilantro and lime slices.
