You’ll also need…
- 1.2 litre baking dish
Method
- Bring a large pan of water to the boil, add the sweet potatoes and cook for 12-15 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside. Heat a glug of oil in the pan and fry the shallots for 5 minutes until softening. Add the garlic, paprika and tomato purée, then fry for a few more minutes.
- Add the chicken strips and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes. Stir in the peppers and the flour and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring.
- Heat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4. Add the sweet potatoes and stock to the pan and bring to a simmer. Cook gently for 10-15 minutes until the sauce has thickened, then taste and season.
- Spoon half the filling into the baking dish. (Freeze the rest for the other recipe.)
- Top with the potatoes, brush with oil and bake for 45 minutes until the potatoes are golden and tender. Serve with steamed green veg.
