• 2 large sweet potatoes
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 400g chicken mince
• 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
• 1 teaspoon ginger
• 2 tablespoon tamari
• 4 tablespoon dark roasted peanut butter or tahini
• 2 spring onions, thinly sliced, to serve

Method

1. Preheat oven to 200C and line baking tray. Cook potatoes whole, for 60 minutes or until tender and soft when cut with knife.
2. When there is 20 minutes to go, start making chicken satay. Heat coconut oil in fry pan and brown chicken mince. Add the garlic, ginger, tamari and peanut butter or tahini and mix to combine. Allow to simmer on low heat for 10 minutes. If mince is getting a little bit dry, add splash of chicken stock to help keep moisture in.
3. Cut sweet potato in half and add half satay to each potato. Garnish each with half spring onion, half chilli and half micro herbs.
