Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 1 pound Chicken breasts or thighs Use fresh or fully thawed for even cooking.
  • 1/2 cup Hot Sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot) Opt for a quality brand to maximize taste.
  • 2 tablespoons Butter Can be substituted with a lighter option if preferred.
For the Sweet Potatoes
  • 2 large Sweet Potatoes Keep the skins on for added flavor and nutrients.
For the Creamy Sauce
  • 1/2 cup Plain Greek Yogurt You may also use sour cream or a dairy-free alternative.

Equipment

  • Slow Cooker

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Place the chicken breasts or thighs in the slow cooker, ensuring they are evenly spaced. Pour your favorite hot sauce over the chicken, then add the butter cut into small pieces on top.
  2. Take your sweet potatoes and rub them with melted butter for added richness. Prick the potatoes with a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking. Place the seasoned sweet potatoes directly on top of the chicken.
  3. Cover the slow cooker with its lid, set it to cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6 hours.
  4. Once cooking time is complete, carefully remove the sweet potatoes from the slow cooker. Shred or slice the chicken directly in the slow cooker using two forks.
  5. To serve, spoon the shredded chicken over the sweet potatoes. Add a generous dollop of plain Greek yogurt on top and your favorite toppings.
