Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken

As you might or might not remember, my husband and I enjoy many things that are buffalo chicken.  When I found this recipe on a fellow coach's blog, I knew I HAD to try it.  So, it was on the menu for last night.  There were so many good things about this recipe, it is a winner and will be on the recipe rotation list often.

Some of the great things:
1.  It is ONLY 4 ingredients.
2.  It takes no time at all to prepare.
3.  It makes enough to have for leftovers or freeze for the future.
4.  It is SUPER tasty
5.  Easy to do as a 21 Day Fix meal!

Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken


Ingredients:
3lbs. Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts (fresh or frozen)
1 Bottle Hot Sauce (I used Frank's Original Hot Sauce)**
1 packet Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning Packet
1/3 block 1/3 Fat Cream Cheese

Directions:
-  Combine the chicken, hot sauce and seasoning packet in the slow cooker.
-  Cook the chicken for 4-6 hours (or 7-8 if frozen).  Once the chicken is cooked, use 2 forks to shred the chicken.
-  Mix in the 1/3 block of cream cheese and allow the cream cheese to melt and blend the flavors together.

**If you don't like things overly spicy, you might want to use only a half bottle of hot sauce.

I served this as sandwiches for my husband on a whole grain roll.  I myself mixed it with some leftover roasted spaghetti squash and it was DELICIOUS!  Then I had some chicken left in my red container and decided since I had a yellow container remaining for the day, I placed a romaine lettuce leaf on top of a whole grain tortilla and then spread the chicken over it and ate it as a wrap.  Served along side a salad for a complete meal!
