Description - Step 1

Prepare the chicken and sweet potato

Boil the boneless chicken breasts in salted water in a large pot for 15-20 minutes until fully cooked and tender. Remove from water and let it cool slightly, then shred the chicken using two forks or your hands into fine, small pieces – the finer the shred, the better the patties will hold together. In a separate pot, boil the sweet potato until fork-tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain, peel if needed, and mash thoroughly with a fork until smooth and lump-free. Let both cool to room temperature.
