Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut sweet potato into fries. Place on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with mixed sesame seeds. Toss to coat. Bake until tender, 20-25 minutes. TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the fries between two tays.
Meanwhile, thinly slice cucumber into rounds. Thinly slice spring onion. Slice lime into wedges. Set aside.
Place your hand flat on top of each chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. In a large bowl, combine miso paste and the brown sugar. Season, then add chicken, tossing to coat.
When fries have 10 minutes remaining, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Cook chicken, turning occasionally, until cooked through, 4-5 minutes. TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
While chicken is cooking, combine mixed salad leaves, cucumber and spring onion in a medium bowl. Add Japanese dressing, tossing to coat. Season to taste.
Divide sweet miso chicken, Japanese salad and sesame sweet potato fries between plates. Sprinkle crispy shallots over salad. Serve with garlic aioli and lime wedges. Enjoy!
- Flavour: Many loved the miso chicken's taste, though some found it too intense. The Japanese dressing and sesame-coated sweet potato fries were highlights.
- Ease of prep: Quick and simple to prepare, though some struggled to slice the chicken evenly or achieve crispy sweet potato fries.
- Suggestions: Several recommended using chicken thighs for more moisture. Adding extra vegetables or ginger to the salad could boost flavour and texture.
- Leftovers: Some enjoyed leftovers for lunch the next day, finding the portions generous and satisfying.
- Modifications: A few preferred regular potatoes over sweet potato, while others enjoyed mashing the sweet potato instead of making fries.
