Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 ounces Whole30 BBQ sauce
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon ghee
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- fresh chopped parsley, to garnish
- pickled onions, for topping
Instructions
- Place the chicken and the BBQ sauce in a slow cooker and cook on low for 4 hours until the meat falls apart. When ready, shred with two forks.
- About 1 hour before the chicken is finished, preheat the oven to 425° F. Poke a few holes around a sweet potato and bake in the oven for 50-60 minutes or until you can easily poke them with a fork.
- When the potatoes are ready, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for 5-10 minutes. Slice the potatoes in half, lengthwise, spread the ghee over the inside of the potatoes and then sprinkle the nutmeg over top. Stuff with the BBQ chicken and top with pickled onions and fresh parsley.
Notes
- Omit the sugar from the pickled onions recipe if doing Whole30!
- If you're looking for a store-bought Whole30 BBQ sauce, I love this one. I also love the flavor of the golden BBQ sauce with the sweet potatoes.
