  • 3/4 cups hot sauce I used Frank's hot sauce
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 4 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch - mixed with 1 tablespoon of water to make a slurry.
  • chopped green onions
FOR THE BLUE CHEESE YOGURT SAUCE
  • 1/2 cup nonfat plain greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1/2 tsp white vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese

Equipment

  • slow cooker

Method
 

  1. Grease the bottom of the inside of slow cooker.
  2. Add your chicken breast in slow cooker.
  3. In medium microwave safe bowl, mix together hot sauce, coconut oil, salt and garlic powder. Heat in microwave until coconut oil is melted. About 45 seconds.
  4. Pour sauce mixture over chicken.
  5. Cover slow cooker and cook on high heat for 1-2 hours, or low heat for 3-4 hours.
  6. When chicken is done, shred with fork and place back in crockpot. Turn on "keep warm".
  7. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  8. Carefully pierce potatoes with a few holes using a knife or fork. Place on baking sheet (no foil) and bake in preheated oven for about 1 hour. Potatoes are done when its easy to stick a knife through the middle.
  9. While sweet potatoes bake, in a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch and water. Mix it into the chicken to help thicken it a bit.
  10. Mix together ingredients for the blue cheese yogurt sauce. Set bowl aside.
  11. When your potatoes are done, let them cool off a bit. Cut into the middle of them to make an area to stuff with the chicken.
  12. Spoon some chicken in middle of potatoes, adding some blue cheese sauce on top, and green onions.
  13. Enjoy!
