Buffalo Chicken is one of my go-to meal-prep staples. Most meal preps for me include some form of shredded chicken whipped up in a pressure cooker or a slow cooker (see my Super Simple Shredded Chicken for another meal-prep-friendly recipe). This allows me to have prepped protein on hand for days and evenings when I’m so busy that I don’t think about eating until I’m so hungry that I  grab anything that’s in the house and convenient! This Buffalo Chicken is super versatile! Enjoy it cold in lettuce or tortilla wraps, topping off a salad, or warmed and enjoyed with steamed veggies and roasted potatoes.

 

You just need FOUR simple ingredients!

 

Here’s what you need…

4 lb chicken breast

3/4 cup hot sauce of choice (I love Frank’s)

2 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp salt

 

Directions:

  1. Add all ingredients to a pressure cooker and cook for 35-40 minutes

or

  1. Add all ingredients to a slow cooker and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6-7 hours.

then…

2. Once the chicken is cooked, shred with two forks
