- 1 ½ pounds of chicken breast
- ½ cup buffalo sauce
- ¼ cup ghee
- 4 medium-size sweet potatoes
- ½ cup Ranch Dressing
- ¼ cup green onions sliced
Add the chicken, ghee, and buffalo sauce to the instant pot.
Wash the sweet potatoes under cold running water. Poke them a few times with a fork to help them cook evenly.
Place the wire rack or trivet above the chicken. Set your sweet potatoes on top of the wire rack. Cook on high pressure for 20 minutes.
Manually release the pressure from the instant pot. Remove potatoes and transfer them to a plate.
Pull apart chicken breast with two forks until it looks like pulled chicken.
Set your instant pot to saute and cook for 5 minutes to reduce the buffalo sauce and coat the chicken. Add a little more buffalo sauce if you like it spicier.
ASSEMBLE
Cut open the sweet potatoes and fill them with buffalo chicken.

- Make my Whole30 Ranch Dressing to put on top of the sweet potatoes. It's so easy and delicious!
- You can use chicken breast or chicken thighs for this recipe.
- I like to add a bit more buffalo sauce at the end for a creamy texture and spicy flavor.
