- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Prepare the crockpot: Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot, spreading them evenly.
- Add seasonings and liquids: Pour the ranch seasoning mix, buffalo sauce, chicken broth, and garlic powder evenly over the chicken breasts to ensure full coverage.
- Cook the chicken: Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours, or on high heat for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
- Shred the chicken: Remove the chicken breasts from the crockpot and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot and mix thoroughly with the sauce inside to combine flavors.

Notes
- If you prefer a spicier dish, add extra buffalo sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- For a thicker sauce, you can remove the lid during the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow some liquid to evaporate.
- Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and can be frozen for up to 3 months.
- Serve with ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing for additional creaminess.
