Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast
- 3 Tablespoons organic ranch dip mix
- ½ cup clean buffalo sauce, plus more if needed
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Add the chicken breasts, organic ranch dip mix, and buffalo wing sauce into your slow cooker, ensuring the chicken is coated evenly with the sauce and seasoning.
- Cook the Chicken: Set your slow cooker to cook on high for 3 to 4 hours or low for 6 to 8 hours. Cook until the chicken is fully cooked through and easily shreds with a fork.
- Shred the Chicken: Remove the cooked chicken breasts from the slow cooker and shred the meat using two forks to create pulled buffalo chicken.
- Combine and Serve: Place the shredded chicken back into the slow cooker and toss it with any remaining sauce or additional buffalo sauce if desired. Allow it to warm through for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Slow cooking on low produces more tender chicken; adjust time based on your slow cooker’s heat settings.
- Use extra buffalo sauce if you prefer spicier or saucier chicken.
- Serve the shredded buffalo chicken on buns, in wraps, over salads, or with celery sticks for a classic combo.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
