Meal times can get boring. I get fed up with the same meals and always looking for something different. I have so many bookmarks of recipes to try. At times I find them far too fiddly or take too much time to prepare. Unlike my Easy Slow Cooked Shredded Chicken & Sweet Potato Wedges Recipe.
I am also getting more into batch cooking, to make those days where you just have no energy to cook. You can just grab this out of the freezer and you have a meal.
Chicken is such a versatile meat that can be used in so many ways with so many flavourings. This recipe is one that can be used in many different ways.
Table of Contents
Ingredients
3 x large chicken breasts
1 tsp Onion Powder
1 tsp Garlic Granules
1 tsp Smoked Paprika
1 x Bottle of Sauce – I used Barbeque, you can use any sauce you wish
2 x tbs Olive Oil
Frozen Sliced Peppers – 1-2 handfuls
Frozen Onion – 1 handful
Sweet Potatoes
How To Make
- Put all ingredients (apart from the chicken) into a mixing bowl and mix together
- Place your chicken breasts in your slow cooker and pour the mix over
- Cook for around 3 hours on a high heat
For the Sweet Potato Wedges
Cut the potatoes into wedges toss in oil and any seasoning you would like and spreadout onto a baking sheet.
I baked on aroun 180 – 190 and kept checking and turning until cooked.
Ready to serve
- Shred the chicken in the sauce and combine it all together
- Place the sweet potato wedges onto the plate
- Spoon the shredded chicken over the top
- We also sprinkled some grated cheese for a little extra
This made enough for two meals and once cooled I placed in the freezer for another day.
You can mix this up with using potato wedges or in wraps or a topping for a jacket potato. You can use different sauces to change it.
I am all for easy meals that will make dinner for another day as well.
Do you batch cook meals?
This looks great although I would change the sweet potato
The great thing about recipes is that you can alter things you are not keen on

I’ve been looking for recipes that I can just throw into my Instant Pot, and this looks really delicious. The Smoked Paprika certainly adds to its wonderful flavor. Anyway, thank you for sharing the recipe. Can’t wait to try this.

That dish looks great I love a batch cook. There are only two of us but it’s great to be able to get a meal out of the freezer
It is so quick and easy to prepare and great for having as a go to on days where you need a quick meal. I do love batch cooking
Such a comforting recipe. Slow-cooked chicken and sweet potato wedges are both healthy and ridiculously delicious.
They are a great combination that just works so well together
I think I would like the shredded chicken but I am not keen on potato wedges
The beauty of this is it that it is so versatile you can have it with anything you want
I do absolutely love when recipes include a side dish! Sweet potato wedges sound fantastic, and I love a good slow-cooker main.
This is perfect home comfort food after a long day and I do love my slow cooker
You’ve got such a great combo here. My favorite for sure. I lvoe shredding chicken and I am one of the few who always eats it with swee potatoes. High five!
We do love sweet potato but only wedges or fries I am not keen on them baked
Your slow cooked shredded chicken sounds wonderful. Sounds like it was full of flavour. It would be lovely as you served it and also make a great addition to tacos and quasadilla for a range of tasty dishes for the family to enjoy.
I agree it is so versatile and can be served in many different ways
This is such a tasty dish! I love the ease and the flavor. It’s the perfect meal for my busy family. We loved it.
It is such an easy meal idea and you can change the sauce to any you prefer
I bet this smells amazing! I’ll have to try this one. I tend to find that I cook the same things over and over again, especially with chicken. It can get really boring. I’m a big slow cooker fan too (more out of laziness than anything else) so this sounds right up my street,

I do love my slow cooker even more so since I had to get a new one this year as mine stopped working although had it about 25 years. It does smell amazing
