Slow Cooker Sweet Potatoes

  • 4

Ingredients

  • 4 medium sweet potatoes (about 12 oz. each)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • ½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese (about 2 oz.)
  • ½ cup barbecue sauce
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Preparation

Step 1

Prick potatoes all over with a fork and place in a slow cooker. Cover and cook on low until potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork, about 3 hours and 30 minutes.

Split potatoes lengthwise and top each with ½ tablespoon butter. Using a fork, gently mash and fluff flesh to incorporate butter. Season with salt and pepper, then top with chicken and cheese. Return potatoes to slow cooker, filling side up. Cover with lid and cook on low until chicken is warmed through and cheese has melted, 5 to 10 minutes. Top with barbecue sauce, sour cream, and chives.

Makes 4 servings.
