My love affair with chipotle paste continues here. I can't get enough of the stuff. It tastes amazing, especially when you mix it with butter. Experiment with flavoured butters - they are a really good way of livening up a dull piece of meat and make a tasty filling for a jacket potato.

Instructions

Step 1

Zap the sweet potato in the microwave at high for 5 minutes, leave to rest for 1 minute and then zap for a further 4 minutes.

Step 2

While the potato is in the microwave, mix together the butter and chipotle paste along with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 3

Melt the coconut oil in a frying pan over a medium to high heat. Chuck in the spring onions and chicken strips and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until you are sure the chicken is cooked through. Check by slicing into one of the larger pieces to make sure the meat is white all the way through, with no raw pink bits left. Reduce the heat to low and spoon in the butter along with the lime juice. Let the butter melt and warm through.

Step 4

Remove the sweet potato from the microwave, slice open on a plate and pour over the zingy chicken.

TOP TIP

Step 5

Flavoured butters are great to have to hand: make a batch and keep in the freezer until you need it. Try combining 100g butter with 2 tablespoons of finely chopped parsley and 1 crushed garlic clove. Bosh! - you've got yourself some garlic butter.
