Ingredients

  • 3-4 chicken breasts, about 2 lbs.
  • 4 C chicken broth
  • 1 C mayonnaise, homemade or Primal Kitchen
  • 3/4 C Frank's Hot Sauce
  • 4 medium sweet potatoes
  • avocado oil for baking the potatoes
  • green onions, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and place the sweet potatoes on the sheet pan. Drizzle a small amount of avocado oil over the sweet potatoes. Rub the avocado oil over the potatoes so the potato is fully covered. Place the sheet pan in the oven and bake for 1 hour or until the potatoes are cooked through and fork tender.
  2. In your Instant Pot, add the chicken broth and the chicken breasts. Seal the lid and pressure cook on high for 7 minutes.
  3. While the chicken and sweet potatoes are cooking, whisk the mayonnaise and the Frank's hot sauce until smooth. Set the sauce aside.
  4. When the Instant Pot timer goes off, manually release the pressure. Remove the chicken and shred it. Use a stand mixer with the beater attachment or hand held mixer to shred the chicken easily.
  5. Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, mix the shredded chicken with the sauce. Slice the sweet potatoes down the middle and stuff with the chicken mixture.
  6. Garnish with the sliced green onions and serve.
