Lime Spice Chicken with Sweet Potatoes, Beets and Corn

This is a wonderful recipe and since having developed it, it has become one of our family’s favorite. The spice mix with the lime zest and the splash of lime juice on the chicken gives the chicken a certain very special something! Trust me when I say you must make this recipe and it will become a favourite in your home too. I roasted sweet potatoes, beets and then added corn in to roast after a few minutes as well to keep it tender and moist – the corn can go in with the sweet potatoes and beets if you want the corn really roasted. This combination is rather unconventional and works really well. The colour on your plate is beautiful and the nutrition you will consume is wonderful and so healthful!
