Description

This Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken recipe combines tender chicken breasts with spicy buffalo sauce, creamy cream cheese, and zesty ranch seasoning for a simple, flavorful dish perfect for a quick dinner or game day snack. Cooked low and slow, the chicken becomes juicy and shreddable, soaking up all the bold flavors.


Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast

Sauces & Seasonings

  • 1 cup buffalo sauce
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 2 Tablespoons ranch seasoning mix


Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Place the chicken breasts in your slow cooker. Add the buffalo sauce, cream cheese, and ranch seasoning mix on top.
  2. Cook Slowly: Cover the crockpot and cook on high for 3 to 4 hours or on low for 5 to 6 hours until the chicken is fully cooked and tender enough to shred easily.
  3. Shred and Mix: Remove the chicken from the crockpot, shred it into bite-sized pieces with two forks, then stir the shredded chicken back into the sauce until well coated. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • You can adjust the buffalo sauce quantity to your preferred spice level.
  • Serve with celery sticks and blue cheese dip for a classic buffalo chicken experience.
  • This dish is great for meal prepping and can be refrigerated for up to 4 days.
  • For a thicker sauce, remove the lid during the last 30 minutes of cooking to let excess liquid evaporate.
