Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 small red onion (⅛ pound), thinly sliced
  • 15 garlic cloves
  • 3 cups finely chopped kale
  • ½ pound shredded chicken
  • 1 cup full fat coconut milk
  • 1 handful fresh thyme
  • 3 medium sweet potatoes (¾ pound each), peeled and thinly sliced (abpit ⅛-inch thick)
  • 2½ teaspoons sea salt

Method
 

  1. Set your oven to 400°F and grease a large casserole dish lightly.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a spacious skillet, then toss in the garlic and onion slices. Cook gently for about one minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the kale and shredded chicken into the skillet and continue cooking on medium heat for around three minutes until the kale softens.
  4. Pour the coconut milk in along with the fresh thyme, and bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Stir in the sliced sweet potatoes and sprinkle with sea salt. Lower the heat and simmer gently for 7 to 10 minutes.
  6. Transfer the entire mixture carefully from the skillet into your prepared casserole dish.
  7. Place in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and have absorbed the creamy coconut milk.

Notes

  • This gratin is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1-2 days. For a moister texture, reduce baking time to 10 minutes. Baking time may vary depending on sweet potato slice thickness, sweet potato variety, your location, and oven temperature.
