Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 12 oz buffalo sauce
- 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning, dry mix only
- 4 tablespoons butter, sliced
- 8 oz cream cheese, cubed and softened
- ¼ cup sour cream
To Serve as Sandwiches
- Hamburger buns
- Green onions, sliced
- Ranch dressing
- Blue cheese crumbles
Instructions
- Prepare the Crockpot: Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
- Add Sauces and Seasoning: Pour the buffalo sauce evenly over the chicken, then sprinkle the dry ranch seasoning over the top. Lay the sliced butter on top to add richness.
- Cook the Chicken: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or on high for 4 to 5 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and easily shreds with a fork.
- Shred and Mix: About 10 minutes before serving, turn the crockpot to warm or off. Using two forks, shred the chicken directly in the crockpot, then add the cream cheese cubes and sour cream. Stir well until the mixture is fully blended and creamy.
- Serve: Serve the buffalo chicken warm on hamburger or slider buns. Top with sliced green onions, ranch dressing, and blue cheese crumbles according to taste for a delicious sandwich.
Notes
- Adjust the cooking time depending on your crockpot’s heat settings and chicken thickness.
- For a spicier dish, add extra buffalo sauce or hot sauce to taste.
- Use slider buns for smaller, party-friendly sandwiches.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Can be served over rice or with celery sticks as low-carb options.
