Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup buffalo sauce (Frank’s RedHot recommended)
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded lettuce (romaine recommended)
- 1/2 cup diced celery
- 1/2 cup diced carrots
- 1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles (optional)
Instructions
- Place chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker in a single layer.
- While the chicken is cooking, prepare the rice according to package directions.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, and chicken broth until smooth.
- Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the chicken, ensuring they’re fully coated. Place the butter on top.
- Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours or high for 2-3 hours until chicken reaches 165°F and shreds easily.
- Let the chicken rest for 3-5 minutes, then shred it directly in the slow cooker and stir into the sauce.
- Start with 1/3 cup of rice in each bowl, add buffalo chicken, top with shredded cheddar, and finish with lettuce, celery, carrots, and blue cheese crumbles if desired. Serve immediately.
