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.

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!
DeleteIf I use a pack of fresh chicken that I have in the freezer would that be the same as the frozen bagged chicken? Probably a dumb question!
ReplyDeleteYes, you would probably have a little shorter cooking time though!
DeleteMaking It For Dinner Starting Its Now
ReplyDeleteWhere is the Ranch in this recipe? Thank you..
ReplyDeleteThe flavors are those found in a traditional 'ranch' dressing. The onion powder, parsley, garlic and thyme.
Deletevery interesting ,excited about making
ReplyDeleteit ,thanku
how long would you cook it if the chicken is unthawed?
ReplyDeleteProbably between 3 and 4 hours.
Deletejust eat it like that or would it be better on a bun
ReplyDeleteWe eat it just as is. Being grain free it is not often that we make buns.
Deletewould be good over rice too im sure! My hubby is Filipino and we eat rice with everything! def gonna try this out!
ReplyDeletei believe I am going to try this. Love pulled pork but never did chicken before, thanx for something new to try. How many servings does the recipe make? My husband is a vacuum per say lol he can eat and eat..So we usually need something that can fill him up, just to turn around an hour later and be hungry again. haha. and we have two kids as well. Will this be enough or would I need to double everything?
ReplyDeleteThis is enough for my family for dinner and lunch the next day. I would say its 5 good size servings. It sounds like you might need to double it to make sure you have enough ;-)
DeleteThis sounds great, my family will enjoy this! My daughter and son-in-law go to Boston Market to get pulled chicken sandwiches all the time. I know they we'll like this better. Thank you for the crock pot recipe!
