Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups buffalo sauce mild, medium, or hot
Instructions
- Place the boneless chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Pour the buffalo sauce on top.
- Cover and set to HIGH for 3 hours or LOW for 6 hours. When done, remove the chicken breasts and shred with a fork. Put back into the slow cooker, stir well, and cover. Set back to LOW for 1 hour.
- Stir the chicken and sauce well. Serve warm on pizza, in sandwiches, as a filling for tacos (see notes for more suggestions).
Notes
Tip 1: Because chicken can dry out easily, it's better to cook it slowly on the low setting. Cooking on high for a shorter amount of time is fine if you're crunched for time, but if you can cook it longer at low there will be less of a chance for the chicken to overcook and dry out.
Tip 2: Use your favorite brand of buffalo sauce in your preferred heat for a flavor you'll love the most!
