I don’t know what it is about summer, but once the weather warms up, I want dinners that feel fresh, easy, and flavorful… but still filling enough that everyone isn’t asking for snacks an hour later. And this one? Immediate repeat recipe. The first time I made these Crockpot BBQ Peach Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potatoes, I honestly wasn’t expecting to love them as much as I did. But the combination of smoky BBQ chicken, sweet peaches, creamy roasted sweet potato, and that crunchy peach slaw on top? SO good.
It somehow tastes cozy and fresh at the same time.
Which is honestly my favorite kind of dinner.
This is one of those meals that feels a little elevated — like something you’d order at a cute little restaurant or serve to friends on the patio with a drink in hand — but it secretly takes almost no effort.
My favorite kind of recipe.
You throw everything into the crockpot, let it cook while you go about your day, roast some sweet potatoes, toss together a quick peach slaw, and dinner is basically done.
As a busy mom, these are the recipes I’m always coming back to. Minimal prep. Big flavor. Everyone happy.
And while my family would absolutely eat this chicken on buns like sandwiches (which honestly would also be delicious), stuffing it into roasted sweet potatoes makes it feel a little healthier, more balanced, and honestly way more fun.
The sweet potato paired with the peach BBQ flavor is such a good combo.
The sweetness from the peaches and preserves works so well with the smoky BBQ sauce, and then the slaw on top adds crunch and freshness so the whole dish doesn’t feel heavy.
It’s basically summer comfort food.
And can we talk about the peach slaw for a second?
DO NOT skip it.
I know sometimes toppings feel optional, but this one completely makes the dish. The fresh peaches, cilantro, lime, and crunchy slaw balance the richness of the chicken and sweet potato perfectly.
It gives major summer BBQ vibes but in a healthier, easy weeknight dinner kind of way.
This is also one of those dinners that feels fancy enough for entertaining.
If you’re hosting friends for dinner, serving these loaded sweet potatoes with the peach slaw on top feels impressive without actually requiring a ton of effort.
Honestly, people will think you spent way more time on dinner than you actually did.
And if you’re meal prepping?
This recipe reheats SO well.
Store the shredded chicken separately from the sweet potatoes and slaw, then just assemble throughout the week for easy lunches or dinners.
You could even turn leftovers into:
- BBQ peach chicken sandwiches
- Tacos with peach slaw
- Rice bowls
- Salads
- Flatbreads
- Wraps
Which is one of my favorite ways to meal prep — one protein, multiple meals.

Ingredient Notes
Chicken Breast
I used chicken breast for this recipe, but thighs would also work if you prefer darker meat.
BBQ Sauce
Use your favorite BBQ sauce here. A smoky one works really well with the sweetness of the peaches.
Peach Preserves
This adds the perfect little sweetness without making the chicken overly sweet.
Dijon Mustard
Helps balance everything and adds a little tanginess.
Sweet Potatoes
I recommend one small sweet potato or half of a large sweet potato per serving.
Peach Slaw
Honestly the star of the show. The crunch + freshness makes the entire recipe.
What to Serve this crockpot recipe With
Honestly, these are pretty complete on their own, but if you’re feeding a crowd:
- Grilled corn
- Watermelon salad
- Chips and guacamole
- A simple arugula salad
- Fresh fruit
Tips for this recipe
- Roast the sweet potatoes while the chicken finishes shredding.
- Don’t skip the lime juice in the slaw — it brightens everything up.
- Add avocado for extra creaminess.
- Sprinkle with cotija cheese if you want to elevate it even more.
- Want more heat? Add sliced jalapeños or hot honey.
