Cooking Instructions
Cooking Instructions
Before you start
- Preheat the oven to 220C / fan 220C / gas 9 / air fryer 190C
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper
- Pull out a a large frying pan, a medium bowl & a measuring jug
Roast the sweet potato
- Halve the sweet potato lengthways. Score the inside of the potato in a grid patter, being careful not to pierce the skin
- Place onto one side of the baking tray, rub with 1 tsp oil and season with salt. Lay the chicken thighs flat onto the other side of the lined baking tray, drizzle with 1 tsp oil, the oregano and season with salt and pepper.
- Roast for 30-35 mins / air fryer 22-25 mins, until soft and golden
- After 16 min remove the chicken thighs from the oven and set aside
Time to fry
- Thinly slice the onion
- Heat the large frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add three-quarters of the onion and cook for 5-7 mins until soft
Simmer the sauce
- Add the passata, stock powder, the chipotle paste (use less for less heat) and 100ml water (50ml for 1 person). Bring to the boil and simmer for 10 mins, until the sauce thickens
Make the avocado salsa
- Meanwhile, dice the avocado into 2cm chunks. Roughly chop the coriander. Deseed and finely chop the chilli. Halve the lime
- In the medium bowl, combine the avocado with half of the the coriander and the remaining onion. Add the juice from the lime and the chilli (for those who'd like the heat). Season with salt and pepper
Finish & plate up
- Check your chicken is cooked through by cutting a large piece in half; the flesh should be white and the juices running clear
- Once cooked, remove the chicken and shred apart with two forks, then return to the pan and toss to coat in the chipotle sauce. Taste and season if needed
- Share the pulled chipotle chicken between plates, with the roast sweet potato and avocado salsa alongside. Garnish with the remaining coriander
