Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Buffalo wing sauce
- 1 packet ranch dressing mix
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 8 pieces burger buns
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 medium carrot, shredded
- 0.5 cup ranch dressing
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the crock pot.
Pour the Buffalo wing sauce evenly over the chicken.
Sprinkle the ranch dressing mix over the chicken, then place the butter on top.
Cover and cook on low heat for 4-5 hours, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Once cooked, shred the chicken directly in the crock pot using two forks, mixing it well with the sauce.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the creamy slaw by combining shredded cabbage, shredded carrot, ranch dressing, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Mix the slaw thoroughly and refrigerate until ready to assemble sandwiches.
To assemble the sandwiches, toast the burger buns if desired, then layer each bun with a generous portion of shredded Buffalo chicken and a scoop of creamy slaw.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
