  4. Boil the kettle. Measure out 600ml of boiling water in a measuring jug, then add the Knorr Chicken Stock Pot and stir to make a stock.

  5. Stir the roasted chicken, sweet potato and tomato paste into the pan.

  6. Pour in the hot stock, then simmer for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and the sauce has thickened and reduced.
