Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup buffalo sauce
1 1-oz. Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning packet
3 Tbsp butter, cut into three pieces

Instructions

Add buffalo sauce to a measuring cup and whisk in the ranch seasoning until well combined.
Add chicken breasts to your slow cooker in an even layer. Pour over the buffalo sauce mixture. Top with the three pieces of butter. Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 3 hours or low for 6.
Remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker once they are fully cooked and shred. The chicken will need to register 165 degrees F with a meat thermometer to be fully cooked. Whisk the sauce in the slow cooker before returning the shredded chicken to the cooker. Toss the chicken in the sauce until it's fully coated.

Notes

I use Frank's Buffalo Sauce for this recipe, but my son Sean like Moore's. You can use whatever buffalo sauce you prefer.

The chicken will need to register 165 degrees F with a meat thermometer to be fully cooked.

I like to shred my chicken in my stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. If you don't have one, by all means use two forks. You could also use a large deep bowl and a hand mixer.
