EASY ONE-POT BBQ CHICKEN

I had some sweet potatoes and some chicken thighs that needed using up this week, and BBQ chicken seemed like the obvious way to go- I often make this type of dish in the slow cooker, but I wanted a quick, weeknight version of this. I love the combination of chicken and bbq sauce, one of my favourite treat meals is Hunter’s chicken. Served with sweet potato fries, some baby corn and any other veg that you fancy (peppers go well too), this is like a Texan treat meal, but is wholly healthy!

  1. Just about to do this in the 8 in 1 multi cooker but would you tell us how you would do this in the slow cooker please. Thanks 🥰

  2. Hi Emma, I don’t have a multi-cooker so I’m afraid I can’t advice on this, however if you join The Slimming Foodie Community on Facebook, lots of the members use multicookers so I’m sure you could get some advice there.
