Preparation
Start the traybake
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Pat the chicken dry and drizzle with oil; season with ½ the spices and S&P.
- Arrange on a lined sheet pan and roast, 8 to 10 min., until partially cooked.
Mise en place
- Meanwhile, remove the husks from the tomatillos; medium-dice.
- Halve, core and thinly slice the sweet peppers lengthwise.
- In a large bowl, combine the tomatillos, sweet peppers, onions, a drizzle of oil, all but a pinch of the remaining spices and S&P.
Finish the traybake
- When the chicken is partially cooked, flip and add the vegetables.
- Roast, turning halfway, 10 to 12 min., until the vegetables are tender and the chicken* is cooked through.
- Switch the oven to broil.
- Top the chicken with the cheese.
- Broil, 3 to 5 min., until beginning to brown.
Make the lime cream
- Meanwhile, quarter the lime.
- In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, juice of ½ the lime wedges, 1 tsp water (double for 4 portions), the remaining spices and S&P.
Plate your dish
