Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180C

  5. Place in the over and bake for 1 hour, checking the chicken is cooked through, and the sweet potato is soft before eating

Note the portions are quite small here – just 1 piece of chicken per person so if you need a bit more you could add twice as much chicken to stay low carb or serve with a piadina or rice.
