From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Chicken cacciatore with sweet potato
½ vegetable stock cube
1 red onion
1 tbsp oil
200g passata
2 x 170g free range chicken breast
300g sweet potato
30g naturally-ripened pitted black olives
40g kale
40g sundried tomatoes
Medium handful of fresh rosemary
Boil a kettle. Dissolve the half vegetable stock cube in a jug with 150ml boiling water. Peel and cut the sweet potato into 1cm cubes. Thinly slice the red onion. Roughly tear the kale and roughly chop the rosemary (discarding the stalks).
Slice each chicken breast into 3 pieces. Place the sweet potato in a saucepan, cover with boiling water and simmer for 10 mins until softened. Drain, mash and season with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper and keep warm.
Meanwhile, in a medium-sized pan, heat 1 tbsp oil on a medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 2-3 mins each side, then add the onion for 3 mins. Add the passata, vegetable stock, sundried tomatoes, black olives, kale and rosemary to the pan and simmer for 10 mins until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened. Season with black pepper.
Spoon the chicken cacciatore into two warm bowls, alongside the sweet potato mash.
