Sweet-Potato Pudding
Ingredients

2 tablespoons almond butter
Generous pinch cinnamon

Pomegranate arils, sliced almonds, and toasted unsweetened coconut flakes, for serving
Directions
Instructions Checklist
Step 1Combine sweet potato flesh (about 1 cup), almond milk, almond butter, cinnamon, and salt in a food processor and blend until smooth. Serve immediately with pomegranate arils, almonds, and coconut flakes or refrigerate in an airtight container up to 5 days.
Step 2In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add half the chicken, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring once, until meat is golden brown, about 5 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer to the slow cooker, leaving as much oil behind as possible. Repeat with remaining chicken.
Step 3Reduce heat to medium. Add onion, garlic, bell pepper, and 1/4 cup water to skillet. Cook, stirring and scraping up any browned bits from bottom with a spoon, until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to the slow cooker and toss with chicken.
Step 4Add crushed tomatoes, hot-pepper sauce, Worcestershire, mustard, and molasses to slow cooker; stir to combine. Cover and cook on high until chicken is very tender, 4 hours (or on low for 8 hours).
Step 5Transfer chicken to a large plate. Using two forks, shred chicken; return to sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Serve on buns, with pickled vegetables on the side.
