Ingredients

Scale

For the BBQ Chicken

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/4 pounds)
  • 3/4 cup Whole30 BBQ sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Italian dressing
  • Salt to taste

For the Sweet Potatoes

  • 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • Dash of cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon avocado or refined coconut oil

For the Quick Dill Pickles

  • Fresh dill sprig
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 English cucumber, thinly sliced
  • Pinch yellow mustard seeds
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup white or white wine vinegar
  • 1/2 tablespoon salt

For the Coleslaw

  • 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 (14-ounce) bag shredded coleslaw mix

To Garnish

  • Fresh chopped parsley
  • Dry BBQ seasoning

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss sweet potato ingredients on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes, then stir and bake another 10–15 minutes until lightly browned.

2. Combine all pickle ingredients in a small bowl and set aside while the potatoes cook.

3. Add chicken, BBQ sauce, Italian dressing, and salt to an Instant Pot. Cook on High Pressure for 10 minutes, then quick release and shred the chicken. Use sauté mode for 5 minutes to coat in sauce.

4. Mix mayonnaise, vinegar, coconut aminos, and salt in a bowl. Add coleslaw mix and toss well to combine.

5. Divide sweet potatoes, BBQ chicken, and coleslaw evenly among bowls. Top with pickles and garnish with parsley and BBQ seasoning.

Notes

Use store-bought or homemade Italian dressing.

Pre-sliced dill pickles can be used instead of making quick pickles.

Coleslaw mix is typically found pre-shredded in the produce section.

If you don’t have an Instant Pot, cook chicken in a slow cooker or shred pre-cooked chicken.
