I love love love buffalo chicken wings, but unfortunately they don't really fit into my diet plan these days. I figured out a healthy way to enjoy that hot buffalo kick...and I found it's less messy and super easy....BONUS!
Pulled Buffalo Chicken Recipe:
4 frozen boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 12 oz bottle of Franks RedHot Original
1 1 oz packet of Ranch Salad Dressing & Seasoning Mix
2 Tbsp butter (optional)
No joke about how easy this is. Place chicken in crock-pot. Pour hot sauce on top. Sprinkle ranch seasoning over everything. Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours....or on low for longer. You'll know it's ready when you go to grab a piece of chicken with a fork and it completely falls apart. So once we're at that part. Take out the chunks of chicken and shred with two forks. It almost shreds itself, just by looking at it. Put the shredded chicken back into the crock pot to mix with the sauce. If you'd like, add the butter at this point.
Ideas for this recipe:
Pulled Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches w/ Coleslaw.
Buffalo Chicken Pizzas
Buffalo Chicken Wraps
Eat it straight from the crock pot when no one's looking......
Yields 8 Servings @ 1/2 c. per serving
WW + Stats:
Chicken = 4 pts.
I went to Albertson's Deli to pick up some coleslaw. What I do is rinse a cup of coleslaw under cold water. It removes all the fatty mayo and the cabbage and good veggies still have a bit of that sweet coleslaw-ish taste. So...I throw that in a bowl with 1/2 c. of the chicken. It fills me up and it's only 4 WW+ points. Can't beat that! For the husband....I just toss a big scoop of coleslaw (not rinsed) and a scoop of chicken on a sandwich thin and call it good. As you can see below...he's happy.
Can't wait to give this a try. Will make our own coleslaw and perhaps baked beans. Yummo!
ReplyDeletelooks good....is it very spicy/hot??
ReplyDeletenah...not to spicy. The ranch tones it down a bit...so does the butter (if you choose to add it). If you like blue cheese...you could throw some on when you go to serve it.
