  • 1 cup hot sauce of choice
  • 1/3 cup ghee or butter
  • 1 1/2 tsp. garlic powder

  3. Stir in riced cauliflower and heat through.
  4. Pour sauce into slow cooker.
  5. Cook for 4-6 hours on low or until chicken is tender.

  7. Turn slow cooker to warm (or remain on low) until ready to serve.
  8. The chicken and potato will cook in two different slow cookers for about the same amount of time.
  9. Serve chicken in baked sweet potatoes. Garnish with ranch and green onions if desired. Enjoy!

Sweet Potato

  • 4 large sweet potatoes

Instructions

Sweet Potato

  1. Wash the sweet potato and scrub off any dirt from the skin. No need to dry it, as the moisture helps cook it. But, make sure it’s not DRIPPING wet.
  2. Use a fork to prick holes at least ¼ inch deep ALL over the sweet potato. Pretty much exactly like you do with a baked potato.
  3. Put your potatoes in the bottom of your slow cooker and put on the lid
  4. Cook them until they’re perfectly tender which is 6-8 hours on low or 3-4 hours on high, depending on the size of your potato, as well as your slow cooker.
