• Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil. • Peel sweet potato and cut into large chunks. • Cook sweet potato in the boiling water until easily pierced with a fork, 12-15 minutes. • Drain sweet potato, then return to pan. Add a generous pinch of salt, the milk and a good drizzle of olive oil. Mash until smooth. Cover to keep warm. Little cooks: Get those muscles working and help mash the potatoes!

• Meanwhile, thinly slice carrot into half-moons.

• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil and the remaining butter. • Cook carrot, tossing occasionally, until just tender, 4-5 minutes. • Add baby spinach leaves and half the garlic paste and cook until fragrant and wilted, 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. • Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.

• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook chicken tenderloins, until browned and cooked through, 3-4 minutes each side. Transfer to a plate to rest. TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.

• Return frying pan to medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook the cracked black pepper and remaining garlic paste until fragrant, 30 seconds. • Reduce heat to low. Add a dash of water, scraping up any bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Add light cooking cream and chicken-style stock powder. Cook, stirring, until thickened, 2-3 minutes. • Add any chicken resting juices. Season with pepper to taste. Remove from heat.

• Divide golden chicken tenders, sweet potato mash and veggies between plates. • Spoon creamy pepper sauce over chicken. Sprinkle flaked almonds over veggies to serve. Enjoy! Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by sprinkling the flaked almonds on top!
