This slow cooker meal is what I make when I’m craving cheesy, calorie laden buffalo chicken dip, but am (for whatever reason) trying to be a better human that week. It’s still packed with flavor, super easy to make, light on calories, and really hits the spot. Serve it on a bun, on a homemade pizza, over a salad, or on whatever really, you can’t go wrong.

minutesIngredients
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 cups of cayenne hot sauce (I use Frank’s)
4 cloves of garlic minced
2 tsp salt
2 tsp black pepper
2 tsp paprika
2 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp dried parsley
1 tbsp dried oregano
Directions
- Mix hot sauce and minced garlic together and set aside.
- Mix spices together in a small bowl and set aside.
- Pat chicken breasts dry, drizzle with olive oil, rub chicken breasts generously with spice mix, and rest in the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Pour hot sauce and garlic mixture over chicken breasts, cover, and cook on high for 4 hours (Note: my slow cookers runs very hot, so I always check mine after about 3 hours to make sure it doesn’t over cook)
- Take chicken breasts out and shred on a cutting board. Add back to the slow cooker, mix with remaining sauce, and enjoy!
