This recipe for one is as easy as ABC. Made with mayonnaise, lime juice and cilantro, the marinade doubles as a sauce to coat the chicken thigh. Perfectly balanced, it enhances the flavour of the poultry as it roasts on a baking tray with bell pepper and sweet potato. A tasty way to prepare chicken and limit the amount of dishes to wash.
