METHOD

Peel and chop the sweet potatoes and place in a large saucepan, cover with boiling water and boil for 10 minutes or until just tender. Drain and place to one side. Meanwhile, put all the paste ingredients into a blender and blitz until you have a fine puree. Add the oil to the pan together with the paste and fry for a couple of minutes. Add the chicken to the paste, mix well and fry for 5 minutes or so until the chicken starts to colour. Then add the sweet potato and cook for a further 5 minutes or so. Once lightly browned, pour over the stock and bring to the boil. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the spinach to the hot mixture at the end so it wilts nicely.
