Prepare the Sweet Potatoes
- Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into evenly sized pieces.
- Place in a pot of water and bring to a boil.
- Cook until fork-tender.
- Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
- Mash with butter, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste. Set aside.
Cook the Chicken
- Trim excess skin and fat from the chicken thighs using a sharp knife.
- Season both sides with salt, pepper, and your preferred seasoning blend.
- Heat a pan over medium heat and sear the chicken thighs until browned on both sides.
- Transfer the chicken to an Instant Pot and add 2 cups of bone broth.
- Cook on the standard (high pressure) setting for 14 minutes.
- Once finished, remove the chicken and place on a rack to drain excess liquid.
- Refrigerate until cool enough to handle.
Cook the Rice
- Add 2 cups of rice to the Instant Pot.
- Use bone broth in place of water for added flavor (follow a 1:1 or appropriate ratio for your rice type).
- Cook using the rice setting (approximately 13 minutes).
Shred the Chicken
- Once cooled, remove the chicken from the refrigerator.
- Using clean hands or gloves, remove bones and discard.
- Shred (pull) the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- Transfer to a large bowl and mix with additional seasoning or barbecue sauce, if desired.
Assemble the Bowls

- 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes
- 1 cup pulled chicken
- 1 cup cooked rice

Notes
- Adjust seasoning and sauce based on preference.
- Bone broth enhances flavor but can be substituted with water if needed.
