Ingredients

  • 1.5 to 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 2 cans (15 oz each) white beans (cannellini or great northern), drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes with juices
  • 3/4 cup buffalo wing sauce
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 block (8 oz) cream cheese, cubed
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 small onion, chopped

  • Optional toppings: green onions, blue cheese crumbles, sour cream

Instructions

  1. Place chicken in the bottom of the slow cooker.
  2. Add beans, diced tomatoes, onion, garlic, buffalo sauce, chicken broth, and ranch seasoning.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours until chicken is cooked through.
  4. Remove chicken, shred with two forks, then return it to the slow cooker.
  5. Add cream cheese and shredded cheddar. Stir until melted and combined.
  6. Cover and cook for an additional 10–15 minutes until creamy and hot.

  • Adjust heat with more or less buffalo sauce or extra cream cheese.
  • Add veggies like corn, bell peppers, or celery for added nutrition.
  • Make it keto-friendly by omitting the beans.
