Preparation time: 10 minutes

Cooking time: 20-30 minutes

Serves: 4

The main dish:

4 good size chicken breasts (roughly 150-200g per breast)

1 large sweet potato (roughly 600g)

50g chorizo (diced)

1 red onion (diced)

30ml sweet chilli sauce

1 tbsp olive oil

Cajun dressing:

1tsp sea salt

2tsp garlic granules

3tsp smoked paprika

.5-1 tsp of cayenne (depending on how spicy you like it)

1tsp onion powder

1tsp ground black pepper

1tsp dried oregano

1tsp dried thyme

1. Peel the sweet potato and place it in a large saucepan to boil for 25-30 minutes until soft.

Whilst the sweet potato is boiling:

2. Butterfly the chicken breasts and cook them in a frying pan over a gentle heat, turning regularly to ensure that they don't burn.

3. Dice the chorizo and onion and gently fry in a separate pan until the onion is soft.

4. Prepare the Cajun seasoning by combining all of the ingredients in a small bowl, mixing well.

5. Once the potato is soft, drain the water from the pan.

6. Add the sweet chilli sauce and mash the potato until smooth, then mix in the chorizo and onion.

7. Serve up and enjoy - try eating it with tenderstem broccoli or a green salad.

Using bacon instead of chorizo, or adding additional veg in the mash such as garden peas or diced pepper can add a bit of variety.
