Easy Crockpot Buffalo Ranch Shredded Chicken

This easy crockpot buffalo ranch shredded chicken is the best protein prep. Just toss everything into the pot, let it cook while you go about your day, and have delicious chicken waiting for you when you’re done!

What You’ll Need

Equipment

• Crockpot
• Hand mixer: Optional, to shred the chicken.

Ingredients

• Chicken: I use chicken breasts, but tenderloins or thighs work too.
• White onion
• Buffalo sauce: Frank’s red hot buffalo sauce is my go-to. It is pretty mild – I’m a big baby when it comes to spice – and I have no trouble eating this. If you like more of a kick, use a spicier hot sauce.
• Ranch seasoning
• Laughing cow cheese: Or light cream cheese.

How To Make It

1. Add all ingredients except laughing cow cheese and optional parsley to the crockpot. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
2. Shred chicken with either a hand mixer or a couple forks and stir in the laughing cow cheese. Add optional parsley and enjoy!

To Store

Once cooled, transfer chicken to an airtight container and keep in the fridge up to 4 days. Freeze in airtight freezer bags or containers up to 3 months.

Enjoy With

• Buffalo chicken sliders
• Buffalo chicken stuffed sweet potatoes
• Buffalo chicken taquitos
