Report
Tender shredded chicken breast simmers in zesty Buffalo sauce, for dipping or piling onto sliders.
Share:
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup Frank's Buffalo Hot Sauce *
- 6 Brioche buns or 12 slider rolls for serving
- 12 ounces coleslaw mix for serving
Instructions
- Add the chicken breasts to a 4 qt slow cooker. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper. Place the butter on top of the chicken and pour the buffalo sauce over top.
- Cover and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and is very tender.
- Shred the chicken in the slow cooker with 2 forks or by using a hand mixer. Serve on brioche buns with coleslaw mix.
Notes
- Buffalo sauce is not the same as Frank's Red Hot - the buffalo sauce has a slightly more mellow buttery flavor. I use this buffalo sauce in this recipe (you can also get mild buffalo sauce).
- You can use the coleslaw mix plain from the bag or you can prepare homemade coleslaw.
- Store leftovers in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or in zippered bags in the freezer for up to one month.
- Serving size is approximately ½ cup of shredded buffalo chicken.
