  1. SWEET MASH

    Boil the kettle. Place a pot over a medium-high heat with 2cm of boiling water covering the base. Once steaming, place the sweet potato chunks in a colander over the pot. Allow to steam covered for 15-20 minutes until cooked through and soft. Alternatively, you can use a steamer if you have one. On completion, discard the water and place the cooked sweet potato in the pot. Add a knob of butter or coconut oil (optional) and a splash of water or milk. Mash with a fork or potato masher until desired consistency and combined.

  2. CHICKEN & SOME PREP

    Rinse the leeks thoroughly and roughly chop. Dilute the stock with 200ml of boiling water. Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towel and season. Place a non-stick pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden. Add the chopped leeks and the carrot chunks and fry for 3-4 minutes until the leeks are soft, shifting occasionally. Pour in the diluted stock and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until reduced and slightly thickened.

  3. CREAMY STEW

    Once the stew has reduced, add the mustard and the crème fraîche. Mix until fully combined and leave to simmer for 3-4 minutes until combined and thickened. Finish off with a squeeze of lemon juice and seasoning, both to taste.

  4. ENJOY!

    Plate up the sweet potato mash and side with the loaded, creamy chicken stew. Sprinkle over the chopped parsley and the lemon zest (to taste). Dig in, Chef!
