FOR THE CREAMY GREEN SAUCE:
PRODUCTS TO USE:
Directions
Add all the chicken marinade ingredients (except the chicken) into a food processor, then blend until smooth.
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels, then place in a resealable bag (or bowl). Pour over the marinade and toss to ensure the chicken is well coated. Seal the bag and refrigerate for 1 to 4 hours.
While the chicken marinates, prepare the Green Sauce. Combine all the green sauce ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. Transfer the sauce to a bowl, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Preheat the oven to 425°F Place the potatoes, onions and vegetables in a roasting pan. Toss with salt, pepper, and olive oil. Spread around the bottom of the roasting pan and place the chicken on top.
Roast the chicken 50-60 minutes, until the internal temperature of the breast reaches 165°F. Remove the roasting pan from the oven and tent with foil for about 20 minutes. Portion the chicken and serve with the Green Sauce.
