Instructions

Get Started

1

a) Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9. Boil a half-full kettle. Chop the sweet potato into 2cm chunks (no need to peel).

b) Put the sweet potato chunks onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.

c) When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden, 20-22 mins. Turn halfway through.

d) Pour the boiled water into a large saucepan with 1/4 tsp salt on high heat. Add the rice and cook for 10-12 mins. Once cooked, drain in a sieve and pop back in the pan. Cover with a lid and leave to the side until ready to serve.

Get Frying

2

a) Meanwhile, halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces.

b) Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.

c) Once hot, add the diced chicken and onion to the pan and season with salt and pepper.

d) Fry until golden brown on the outside, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.

Finish Prepping

3

a) Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

b) Drain and rinse the black beans in a sieve.

Add the Flavour

4

a) Add the black beans, garlic and Mexican style spice mix to the chicken and fry until fragrant, 1-2 mins.

b) Stir in the passata, smoky base paste, chicken stock paste and water for the sauce (see pantry for amount) until well combined.

c) Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until thickened, 3-4 mins. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Finish Up

5

a) Once the sauce has thickened, add the spinach to the pan a handful at a time until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins.

b) Stir in the honey, butter (see pantry for both amounts) and roasted sweet potato.

c) Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.

d) Add a splash of water if the sauce is a little too thick.

Serve

6

a) Share the rice between your serving bowls.

b) Spoon over the smoky chicken, sweet potato and beans.

c) Finish by drizzling over the mayo (see pantry for amount).

Enjoy!
