1 x 1500g chicken, cut into 8 pieces (I asked my butcher to do it for me)
2 Red Peppers
1 Yellow pepper
2 sweet potatoes

Red pepper aioli
1 roast red pepper
3 tablespoons of mayonnaise
2 cloves of garlic

First Brown chicken in a frying pan until golden.
Peel sweet potato, and cut into chunks, quarter peppers, peel and quarter onions, quarter lemon, toss all vegetables including potatoes and lemon in olive oil, season with salt and pepper.
Place all vegetables in a large oven proof dish, put chicken pieces on top and sprinkle with lots of rosemary. Roast for 45 minutes in a pre heated oven. Once cooked turn off the oven and leave to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
