This chicken and sweet potato hotpot is great for hotpot lovers but instead of the usual lamb and potatoes, we substitute chicken and sweet potato.
For healthy eating, this is much better with only half of the calories and fat of a traditional Lancashire hotpot. It also cooks in half the time so is much easier for a mid-week evening meal.
