Lime chicken with roasted vegetables



Chicken is one of the best things I know, sorry vegans and vegetarians, but in all honesty that is in my opinion a better meat to eat. Pairing it with roasted veggies is great! This meal is calculated for one person an this is what you need: 

For the chicken:
enough chicken for one person, you can make more and just freeze it later on
2-3 spring onions chopped up
lime juice from ½ lime
3 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp worchestershire sauce
2 tbsp soy sauce 

Depending on how much chicken you are using you might need to adjust the measurements for the marinade. For this recipe I used about 200g chicken

For the veggies
broccoli (as much as you like)
2 carrots 
3 asparagus stems
lime juice

You can garnish with some lime zest


Marinate the chicken and let it stand in the fridge for about 15 minutes, the longer it stands the better, but if you don't want to/have time to wait then 15 min is recommended at least. Put the chicken, with the marinade into a pan and place it on the stove for about 10-15 min, or until they get some color on medium/high heat, turn them occasionally.  Meanwhile peel the carrots and wash the asparagus. 

When the chicken have finished put it on some paper to drain of the excess oil. You can also cook the chicken in an oven for 15-20 min on 175 C. I dont own an oven so I used a pan instead.


To roast the veggies, place them in a dry non-stick pan on high heat for about 5 min. Stir occasionally. I prefer my veggies to be a bit crisp still, but if you want them softer you can place them on medium/high heat for about 10 min instead, or you can steam them if you have a steamer.


After that just plate it, drizzle some lime juice over the veggies and garnish it with some lime zest!
