Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 to 2 pounds)
  • 1 cup buffalo sauce
  • 1 packet (1 ounce) ranch seasoning mix

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Begin by gathering the chicken breasts, buffalo sauce, and ranch seasoning mix. Ensure the chicken breasts are thawed if previously frozen.
  2. Add to Slow Cooker: Place the chicken breasts into the slow cooker. Pour the buffalo sauce evenly over the chicken and sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix on top.
  3. Cook Until Tender: Cover and cook on low heat for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender enough to shred easily with a fork.
  4. Shred and Serve: Once cooked, shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker using two forks and mix well with the sauce to evenly coat every piece. Serve hot as is or over rice, in sandwiches, or with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • For spicier buffalo chicken, add more buffalo sauce or include some cayenne pepper.
  • Use fresh chicken breasts for best results, but frozen chicken can be used if cooking time is extended.
  • This recipe is great for meal prep and stores well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Serve with celery sticks and blue cheese or ranch dressing for a classic buffalo chicken experience.
