How to make pulled chicken with sweet potato and coconut in the multicooker?

    1. Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic. Peel the sweet potato and cut it into roughly 2 cm cubes.
    2. Place the chicken breasts in the inner pot of your multicooker. Add the onion, garlic and sweet potato cubes.
    3. Pour in the coconut milk and the peeled tomatoes. Add the red curry powder, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper, and give everything a quick stir.
    4. Set the multicooker to the slow cook setting on low (Low) and cook for 6 to 7 hours. If you want it ready faster, choose high (High) and allow 3 to 4 hours.
    5. Remove the chicken breasts from the pot and shred them with two forks into nice strands. Return the pulled chicken to the sauce and stir well.
    6. Taste and adjust the seasoning with extra salt, pepper or a splash of lime juice for brightness.
    7. Serve the pulled chicken with steamed rice or warm naan. Garnish with fresh coriander and a wedge of lime.

This recipe is perfect for busy days when you still want to enjoy a real, homemade meal. The multicooker takes over the cooking while you get on with other things. Leftovers store easily in the fridge and are just as good — if not better — the next day, because the flavors continue to develop. It's smart cooking that doesn't sacrifice taste.

A good multicooker with a slow cook program is one of those kitchen appliances you'll be glad to use every week. It works for soups, stews, pulled meats and even desserts. Quality that pays for itself, day after day.
