Instructions

Buffalo Chicken Tacos

  1. Set your slow cooker to low or medium heat.
  2. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, celery seed and garlic powder. Place the chicken in the slow cooker and add in the diced onion and carrot. Pour in the chicken broth and cover with the lid.
  3. Cook the chicken for 3-6 hours depending on the size and how fast or slow your slow cooker cooks. Once the chicken is tender and cooked through remove it from the slow cooker onto a plate and shred it with two forks.
  4. Pour the broth from the chicken into a glass measuring cup, straining out the vegetables and keeping them in the slow cooker.
  5. Place the shredded chicken back in the slow cooker and add in the buffalo sauce and approximately a 3/4-1 cup of the reserved broth. Stir everything together until combined and keep warm until ready to serve.
  6. Serve the tacos in warmed corn tortillas topped with the blue cheese coleslaw and more crumbled blue cheese.
