Preparation facts

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs

2 Tbs dry jerk seasoning

2 Tbs butter

2 Tbs salad oil

2 cups shredded sweet potato

2 Tbs finely chopped red onion

1/4 tsp salt

1/8 tsp cayenne pepper

1/3 cup flour

1 egg, slightly beaten

1 bottle (12 oz.) mango chutney

1 fresh mango, diced

2 Tbs chopped fresh Italian parsley

rosemary sprigs

Directions

Rub chicken thighs with jerk seasoning.

In oven-proof pan, place butter and salad oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook about 2 minutes on each side to brown.

Place pan in 350ºF oven and cook about 45 minutes or until chicken is fork-tender. Remove chicken and shred.

In large bowl, place sweet potato, onion, salt, cayenne pepper, flour and egg; stir to mix well.

Spray frypan and place on medium heat. Spoon in sweet potato mixture, tablespoons at a time, to make small pancakes. Keep pancakes warm while completing cooking.

Top pancakes with shredded chicken and small dollop of chutney; place additional pancake on top of chicken.

Remove pancake stacks to serving plates and garnish each with diced mango and parsley. Pierce each stack with rosemary sprig.
