Equipment

  • 1 slow cooker

Ingredients

  • 2-2.5 pounds chicken breast
  • 1 1 ounce package of ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 bottle buffalo sauce
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, sliced

Instructions

  • Place chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning on the chicken.
  • Pour buffalo sauce over the chicken and then top with butter.
  • Cover the slow cooker with the lid and then cook for 6-8 hours on low or 4 hours on high heat.
  • Once the chicken has cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken and then stir to coat the chicken in the sauce.

Notes

  • You can use 1.5-2.5 pounds of chicken for this recipe.
  • If you want to cut down on the spiciness, use 3/4 of the bottle of sauce.
  • Slice or cube the butter so that it distributes evenly.
