| 2 | chicken breasts or 4 boneless, skinlesschicken thighs, cubed |
| 1 sachet of | fajita seasoning |
| 1 tbsp | garlic granules |
| 1 tbsp | onion granules |
| 1 tsp | adobo seasoning |
| 1 tbsp | tomato purée |
| 1 tbsp | ketchup |
| For the green yoghurt sauce | |
| 40g | coriander, chopped |
| 40g | parsley, chopped |

Method
Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan. Pierce the sweet potatoes all over with a fork. Rub them with olive oil and salt, then bake them for 45–60 minutes until soft.
In a bowl, mix the chicken with all the remaining ingredients. Transfer to a baking tray and cook alongside the potatoes for 20 minutes, or until cooked through.
Mix all the ingredients for the yoghurt sauce together until smooth.
Stir the drained sweetcorn in with the cottage cheese, coriander and Tajín seasoning.
When the sweet potatoes are done, open them up and fluff the inside. Add the cooked chicken and top with the sweetcorn mixture. Drizzle the green yoghurt sauce over the top and serve immediately.
TIP: I serve mine with 40g four-chilli cheese mix, a handful of rocket leaves, a red onion salad and a squeeze of lime, but you can serve with whatever you like.
