Whether you serve it on buns with a side of blue cheese or ranch dressing, or use it in tacos with fresh veggies, this shredded buffalo chicken packs a flavorful punch and is incredibly versatile. Best of all, it can be made quickly in a slow cooker or pressure cooker for hands-off cooking.
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup buffalo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Blue cheese crumbles or ranch dressing, for serving (optional)
- Buns, wraps, or tortillas, for serving (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and ranch seasoning if using. Place the chicken in a slow cooker or pressure cooker.
- Add the buffalo sauce: Pour the buffalo sauce and chicken broth over the chicken, ensuring the chicken is fully coated. Add the butter on top for richness.
- Cook the chicken:
- For Slow Cooker: Cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours until the chicken is tender and easy to shred.
- For Pressure Cooker: Cook on high pressure for 10 minutes, then allow the pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes before manually releasing the rest.
- Shred the chicken: Once the chicken is fully cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the sauce, ensuring it absorbs all the buffalo flavor.
- Serve: Serve the shredded buffalo chicken on buns, wraps, or over a salad. Top with blue cheese crumbles or a drizzle of ranch dressing if desired.
