Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 45 minutes
Servings 6 people

Ingredients

  • 1 lbs organic chicken ground chicken or turkey
  • 2 garlic cloves crushed
  • 1 small white onion
  • 2 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp tomato sauce / crushed tomatoes
  • 1 bag frozen organic sweet corn
  • Sea salt and pepper
  • Mashed Sweet Potato

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 400F.
  • In a large pan, heat a little avocado oil, add garlic and onions. Stir around and cook for 2 – 3 minutes.
  • Add in the ground chicken (or turkey) and break it up until minced.
  • Once the chicken is cooked, add garlic powder, cayenne pepper, paprika, salt and pepper.
  • Add chicken broth and allow meat to soak up the liquid. Add 2 tbsp tomato sauce and mix it in.
  • Meanwhile…  make Sweet Potato Mash and set aside until ready to layer.
  • Once chicken has soaked up most of the liquid, transfer chicken into a baking dish or Pyrex.
  • Layer chicken with the corn (it's fine if it is still frozen) and then add the mashed sweet potato and spread over top of corn evenly with a silicone spatula. I like to use a fork to create some texture on top, it looks nice and allows top to crisp up a bit. You can also spray top with some oil spray for extra crispness!
  • Bake for 35 minutes and then put under broiler for 2-3 minutes to give top some colour!
