RECIPE OF THE WEEK: 5-Ingredient Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken & Sweet Potatoes

May 25, 2023

Crave-worthy Buffalo chicken gets a dairy-free makeover! Stuffed inside a tender sweet potato, and done completely in the slow cooker, 5-Ingredient Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken & Sweet Potatoes is your answer to dinner tonight.

Ingredients

For the Chicken and Sweet Potatoes

  • ¾ cup red hot sauce
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon melted coconut oil divided
  • 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 4 small whole scrubbed sweet potatoes or 2 large sweet potatoes halved

For the Toppings (Optional)

  • ¼ cup avocado mayonnaise or whole plain yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon chopped chives or green onion

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the hot sauce and 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil.
  • Rub 1 teaspoon melted coconut oil on the skin of the sweet potatoes.
  • Place the chicken in a 6-quart slow cooker. Drizzle with ¼ cup of the hot sauce mixture, tossing to coat.
  • Arrange the sweet potatoes on top of the chicken, around the edge of the slow cooker.
  • Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sweet potatoes are tender.
  • While the chicken and sweet potatoes cook, make the sauce by whisking together the avocado mayonnaise or yogurt, lime juice and salt.
  • Carefully remove the potatoes from the slow cooker–they will be very soft so you may need to use tongs and a spatula–and set aside. Remove the chicken and shred with two forks. Return the chicken to the slow cooker, stirring together with any accumulated juice. Pour in an additional ¼ cup hot sauce mixture, stirring to combine.
  • Slice the sweet potatoes, top with the shredded chicken, and drizzle with the remaining hot sauce mixture and mayonnaise or yogurt sauce. Sprinkle with green onions and serve.
