Note: I can't always afford all Grass-Fed meats, so chicken is where I generally skimp. Because the fat is where the majority of the pesticides and toxins reside, I choose to purchase boneless/skinless chicken breast and add in healthy fats (butter, coconut oil, etc) into the meal in other places. This allows me to keep a lower budget and still get the nutrition my family needs.
Buffalo-Ranch Pulled Chicken
5 Frozen B/S Chicken Breasts
1/2 Tbsp Dried Parsley
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 Tbsp Onion Powder
1/2 tsp Dried Thyme
1/4 tsp Salt
1 C Frank's Red Hot Sauce
Place frozen chicken breasts into the slow cooker.
| Forgot the Thyme in this picture |
Cook for about 5 hours.
Using two forks or tongs, shred chicken.
Enjoy!
What would be an alternative to reds hot sauce? Is it an enchilada type sauce?
ReplyDeleteNot enchilada like, it is a chicken wing style hot sauce. I have used Tapatia hot sauce with some white vinegar (to give it the wing flavor) before and it was pretty similar. Whatever you would normally use for chicken wings would work fine. Hope that helps!
DeleteMade this today. It was a hit with the whole family! THANK YOU!!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you enjoyed it!! :-)
Delete@Rosie Franks also makes a buffalo wing sauce. Very good. Can't wait to try this recipe.
ReplyDeleteMade this using half bbq half hot sauce. Awesome pulled chicken sandwich!
ReplyDeletewere does the ranch come in... ??
ReplyDeleteThe parsley, onion powder, garlic and thyme is a recipe for a ranch dressing powder, similar to the packets you would buy at that store, but without the garbage in it.
DeleteCould you substitue homemade salsa or bbq sauce in place of hot sauce?
ReplyDeleteI don't think the flavors would mesh well with either of those. This is a chicken wing and ranch type flavor, to my mind wouldn't go with those.
DeleteWhat are the sides you served it with? I'm having trouble figuring them out from the picture.
ReplyDeleteWe like to do it with roasted veggies, vinegar slaw and sweet potato fries! On that day it was roasted brussel sprouts and mashed squash.
DeleteWhat could we have to go with this?? Making tomorrow for dinner!
ReplyDeleteSorry for the delay, Kim. We are in the process of moving and things have been hectic. We like this with a vingar cole slaw or simple roast veggies. Hope you enjoyed!
