Description
A flavorful and easy slow-cooker recipe featuring tender shredded chicken, spicy buffalo sauce, and fresh broccoli. Perfect for a hearty, protein-packed dinner with minimal prep.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup buffalo wing sauce
- 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot.
- In a small bowl, mix together buffalo wing sauce, chicken broth, and ranch seasoning. Pour the mixture over the chicken.
- Cover and cook on low for 4 hours, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
- Shred the chicken in the crockpot using two forks. Stir in the cream cheese until melted and well combined.
- Add the broccoli florets and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir, cover, and cook for an additional 20-30 minutes until the broccoli is tender.
- Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- If your sauce separates a bit, stir it well at the end.
- Frozen broccoli can be used, but add it closer to the end of cooking time to prevent sogginess.
- Chicken thighs can be used instead of breasts for a juicier result.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- This dish can be served over rice or baked potatoes for a more filling meal.
