  2. 2

    Bring to a simmer, cover and cook for 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the sweet potato and simmer for a further 10–12 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sweet potato is tender.

Use up the rest

Cooking this for one leaves 25 g coriander, 320 g chicken thigh and 7 spring onions. These recipes finish them off, so plan one later in the same week.

Good with the rest of your week
