Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Chop the sweet potato (unpeeled) into 1cm chunks. Thinly slice the capsicum. Place the sweet potato and capsicum on an oven tray lined with baking paper. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat, then roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.
While the veggies are roasting, slice the kernels off the corn cob. Roughly chop the tomato. Thinly slice the cucumber into half-moons. Finely chop the long red chilli (if using). Zest the lemon to get a good pinch, then slice into wedges.
Heat a medium frying pan over a high heat. Add the corn kernels and cook until lightly charred, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
In a medium bowl, combine the mild Caribbean jerk seasoning, a good pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil. Add the chicken thigh and toss to coat. Return the same frying pan to a mediumhigh heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the chicken, turning, until golden and cooked through, 10-14 minutes.
TIP: Don't worry if the spice blend burns a little in the pan, this adds to the traditional flavour!
While the chicken is cooking, combine the garlic aioli with a generous squeeze of lemon juice in a small bowl. Set aside. Add the tomato, cucumber, mixed salad leaves and long red chilli (if using) to the charred corn. Add the lemon zest, the white wine vinegar and a drizzle of olive oil. Season to taste and toss to combine.
Thickly slice the Caribbean chicken. Divide the chicken and charred corn salad between plates. Spoon any resting juices over the chicken. Serve with the lemon aioli and lemon wedges on the side.
TIP: For the Calorie Smart option, serve with half the lemon aioli.
