1 red pepper, chopped
1 package of frozen corn (about 280 g)
1 package of frozen baby lima beans (about 280 g)
60 ml of water
Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation:
Heat the oven to 220 degrees Celsius. Salt and pepper the chicken breasts on all sides, then place them on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Bake for about 30 minutes, until the skin becomes golden and crispy.
Meanwhile, prepare the barbecue sauce. In a small saucepan, combine apple cider vinegar, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and one tablespoon of Dijon mustard. Heat over medium heat to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally. Cook for about 15 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
For the side dish, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the white part of the spring onion, red pepper, half a teaspoon of salt and a little pepper. Simmer for about five minutes until the vegetables are soft.
Pour water into the pan, add corn, lima beans and the remaining teaspoon of mustard. When the mixture boils, reduce the temperature and cook for another ten minutes, until the vegetables become soft. At the end, mix in the green part of the spring onion.
Turn on the broiler function on the oven. Coat the chicken with the prepared barbecue sauce and return to the oven for about three minutes, until the sauce becomes thick and slightly caramelized.
Serve warm chicken with a rich sakotas side dish of corn, beans and peppers.
