Foodie Friday: Buffalo-Ranch Chicken

Day to day life is crazy and I don’t always have time or energy to spend a lot of time creating a meal full of prep or have time to watch the stove. Some days I turn to an underutilized kitchen gadget: the crock pot (slow cooker).  

This recipe is super easy and quite versatile. All you need is three ingredients (for the initial chicken – to make a meal others are required).

Ingredients:

• 4 Large Boneless Chicken Breasts
• 1 Package Powdered Ranch Dressing
• 1 Small Bottle Frank’s Red Hot (Original or Buffalo)

Directions:

1. Place defrosted chicken breasts in crock pot.
2. Sprinkle entire ranch dressing packet over chicken. Pour entire bottle of Red Hot sauce over the chicken.
3. Flip the chicken a couple of times to coat both sides with seasonings.
4. Cook on low for 8 hours.
5. Once the done, get two forks and shred the chicken

The chicken is done, now what to do with it? My favorite is the most recent way I prepared it. And yes, it is just as simple as making the chicken.

Additional Ingredients:

• King Hawaiian Hamburger Buns (if you can’t find the buns the regular rolls work just cut them in half)
• Pickles
• Butter Lettuce

Directions:

From here it is simple, build your sandwich and enjoy. We paired this recipe with sliced radishes instead of chips to be a bit healthier.  

The spice from the chicken pairs well with the sweetness of the bread.

This chicken can also be enjoyed in a wrap or on a salad. Let me know how you like it. Happy Friday!
