Cooking Steps

1

Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut sweet potato into small chunks. Place on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.

TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the sweet potato between two trays.

While the sweet potato is roasting, thinly slice the carrot into rounds. Tear the kale leaves from the stem, then roughly chop the leaves. Finely chop garlic (see ingredients).

Place your hand flat on top of each chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. Season both sides with salt and pepper. In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Cook chicken steaks until cooked through, 3-5 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.

TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.

Return frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the carrot, tossing, until tender, 5-6 minutes. Add the garlic and kale and cook until fragrant and softened, 1 minute. Transfer to a plate.

Return the frying pan to a medium-low heat. Add the light cooking cream, chicken-style stock powder and any chicken resting juices. Cook, scraping up any chicken bits from the pan, until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. Season to taste.

TIP: If you'd prefer a thinner sauce, add more water, 1 tsp at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

Roughly chop the parsley. Slice the chicken. Divide the chicken, roast sweet potato and garlicky veggies between plates. Drizzle the cream sauce over the chicken. Garnish with the parsley to serve.

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Many loved the creamy sauce, finding it delicious and flavourful. Some found it a bit salty; adjusting stock powder could help.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and simple to make, with clear instructions. Some found the multiple cooking steps (oven, frypan) a bit fiddly.
  • Suggestions: Several preferred broccoli over kale. Try adding mushrooms to the sauce or making extra for more coverage.
  • Leftovers: The dish reheats well. Some found the portions generous, while others wanted more chicken or sauce.
  • Modifications: Mashing the sweet potato or mixing with regular potatoes worked well for some. Adding Parmesan to roasted veg boosted flavour.
