    180 millilitres compliant BBQ sauce
    2 tablespoons Italian dressing
    Salt, to taste
  • Sweet Potatoes
    2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
    2 teaspoons chili powder
    1 dash ground cinnamon
    1 tablespoon avocado oil or refined coconut oil
  • Quick Dill Pickles
    1 sprig fresh dill
    1 clove garlic, minced
    60 grams English cucumber, thinly sliced
    1 pinch yellow mustard seeds
    60 millilitres water
    60 millilitres white wine vinegar or white vinegar
    0.5 tablespoon salt
  • Coleslaw
    140 grams mayonnaise
    1.5 tablespoons apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar
    3 tablespoons coconut aminos
    0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
    400 grams shredded coleslaw mix
  • To Garnish
    Fresh chopped parsley
    Dry BBQ seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C. On a baking sheet, toss cubed sweet potatoes with chili powder, cinnamon, and oil. Spread in a single layer and roast for 20 minutes. Stir and return to oven for 10–15 minutes until edges are browned but potatoes remain tender.
  2. While sweet potatoes are roasting, combine fresh dill, minced garlic, cucumber slices, yellow mustard seeds, water, vinegar, and salt in a bowl. Mix well and set aside to pickle.
  3. Place chicken breasts, BBQ sauce, Italian dressing, and salt in the Instant Pot. Seal and cook on High Pressure for 10 minutes. Perform a quick release, shred chicken with forks or a hand mixer on low speed. Switch to Sauté mode and cook for 5 minutes, stirring until chicken is fully coated with sauce.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, vinegar, coconut aminos, and salt. Place shredded coleslaw mix in a medium bowl, pour dressing over, and combine thoroughly.
  5. Divide roasted sweet potatoes, BBQ chicken, and coleslaw evenly among four bowls. Top each bowl with several pickle slices and garnish with fresh parsley and dry BBQ seasoning.

Notes

  • Ensure to adjust the BBQ sauce for desired sweetness or spiciness.
  • Feel free to substitute chicken breasts with thighs for a richer flavor.
  • Store leftover pickles in the refrigerator for up to a week.
