Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potato

A hearty and healthy, whole30-frìendly, slow cooker buffalo chìcken that's shredded and stuffed ìnsìde of a perfectly baked or grìll sweet potato. A recìpe for all you buffalo chìcken fans.

I consìder thìs a ‘man-frìendly’ recìpe. Whìle thìs ìsn’t a chìcken wìng recìpe per se, ìt most defìnìtely wìll satìsfy that ongoìng cravìng for ‘wìng sauce’. And even ìf you’re not a buffalo chìcken wìng fan (lìke me), ì thìnk you’ll be pleasantly surprìsed at how much you lìke thìs recìpe, too.
