Step 1: Prepare the Chicken: Place your boneless chicken breast and/or thighs at the bottom of a slow cooker, ensuring they are evenly spaced for thorough cooking.

Step 2: Mix the Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the tomato sauce, tomato paste, mustard, apple cider vinegar, coconut aminos, chopped dates (if using), shredded carrots, and seasonings until well combined.

Step 3: Combine and Cook: Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the chicken in the slow cooker, cover it tightly, and cook on low for about 4 hours.

Step 4: Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Slice sweet potatoes into ¼-inch thick rounds, toss with oil, and roast in a preheated oven at 400°F for around 20 minutes.

Step 5: Shred the Chicken: Once cooking time is up, shred the chicken right in the slow cooker, mixing it back into the sauce.

Step 6: Assemble Your Sliders: Take a roasted sweet potato round, spoon a generous portion of the chicken mixture on top, and add another sweet potato round on top.
