Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup buffalo sauce (check for low-carb options)
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Optional Toppings

  • 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles
  • 2 tbsp chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Sprinkle them evenly with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to build the base flavor.
  2. Add liquids: Pour the buffalo sauce and chicken broth over the chicken, ensuring they are well coated for maximum flavor infusion during cooking.
  3. Cook the chicken: Cover the slow cooker with the lid. Cook on low heat for 7 hours or on high heat for 4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
  4. Shred the chicken: Remove the chicken breasts and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
  5. Mix in cream cheese: Add the softened cream cheese to the shredded chicken and stir thoroughly until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
  6. Serve with toppings: Serve the buffalo chicken hot, garnished with blue cheese crumbles and chopped green onions if desired for extra flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use low-carb or sugar-free buffalo sauce to keep the recipe keto-friendly.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to mix evenly with the shredded chicken.
  • For a spicier dish, add extra cayenne pepper or hot sauce.
  • Can be served as a main dish or used as a filling for lettuce wraps, tacos, or keto-friendly sandwiches.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for longer storage.
