CHICKEN WITH SWEET POTATO MASH

By Organic Sisters

Ingredients

3 large sweet potatoes

3 tablespoons coconut oil

1 brown onion

2 garlic cloves

8 field mushrooms

60ml/1/4 cup water

6 large kale leaves

120ml/1/2 cup coconut cream

6 organic chicken highs

Himalayan salt and Black Pepper

Approx 1/2 – 1 cup fresh basil leaves

Directions

Prepare and cook the sweet potato to make the mash and then set it aside ready for serving.  Chop the onion and garlic and slice the mushrooms.  Place the coconut oil into a large frying pan on medium to high heat. Add the garlic and onion and sauté for a few minutes.  Remove the stalks from the kale leaves and slice them up finely.  Add the sliced mushrooms, kale and the 1/4 cup of water to the pan.  Give it a good stir and then cover it and let simmer for approx  10 minutes or until the mushrooms have cooked through and reduced in volume.  Pour in the coconut cream and add a good pinch of salt and pepper.  Place the whole chicken thighs into the pan (press then down into the sauce). Reduce the heat to medium, cover and let simmer for approx  5 minutes.  Turn the thighs over and continue to cook for another  5-10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked.  Remove the pan from the heat, then stir through the fresh basil leaves. Add some extra salt and pepper if it needs it and then serve it up on top of the sweet potato mash.
