2 Chicken breast and Legs

1 large diced Onion

2 Green diced , Chillies

20g of blended Ginger

Salt and Pepper to taste

Zest and juice of 1 Lemon

10g sliced Ginger

1 litre of Ginger beer

Mix everything together and marinade the Chicken for at least an hour in the fridge

Pre-heat the oven to 180*c

Transfer the Chicken and marinade to a casserole pot , slow cooker or Clay pot. 

Add the ginger beer and place it in the oven and cook for about 30-40 minutes. 

Place the Yam cubes in a saucepan with enough water that covers the Yam (about 2 cm above the Yam). 

Place the Yam on a medium heat and cook for about 5-7 minutes. The Yam is cooked when it has a translucent  look and there isn't any resistance when you insert it with a fork. 

Remove the Chicken from the oven, add the Lemon juice, stir and leave to rest for about 5 minutes. 

To serve

Strain the broth , using a fine strainer, shred the moist chicken and add to the broth. Sprinkle with Greek basil , Coriander or Kaffir Lime.
