Preheat the oven to 180ºC. Tip the sweet potato wedges into a roasting tray, drizzle over the oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile bring a pan of salted water to the boil, add the chicken then cover with a lid. Remove from the heat and leave to stand for 10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and leave to cool.

Combine the tomatoes, garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, sugar and smoked paprika in a liquidiser and blend until smooth. Pour into a saucepan, bring to the boil then simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.

Use two forks to shred the chicken into long strands then add to the pan of sauce and toss to coat. Pile the chicken and lettuce leaves into the burger bun and serve with the sweet potato wedges.
