3. Reduce the heat to low. Add 1 cup broth, the coconut milk, and fish sauce. Partially cover and simmer for about 20-30 minutes, or until the sweet potato is tender and the chicken is cooked through. Stir in the broccoli and cook for another 5m. Add lime juice. Season to taste with salt. (Chicken with skin about 30m, skinless chicken about 15)
