Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken – Start by placing the chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Drizzle the buffalo sauce over the chicken. This is where the magic begins, as the sauce infuses the chicken with its bold, zesty flavor!
Step 2: Cook the Chicken – Set the slow cooker to low heat and cook for about 4-5 hours. The chicken will cook until it’s tender and easy to shred. This slow cooking process makes the chicken juicy and flavorful.
Step 3: Shred the Chicken – Once the chicken is fully cooked, use two forks to shred it right in the slow cooker. Mix it up with the buffalo sauce for a well-coated, spicy chicken filling.
Step 4: Mix the Salad – In a large bowl, toss together the lettuce, celery, green onions, and Greek yogurt. Then, top it with the shredded buffalo chicken. This step brings everything together into a refreshing and flavorful salad.
Step 5: Serve – Now, it’s time to dig in! Serve your Slow-Cooker Buffalo Chicken Salad as a light, satisfying lunch or a fun dinner. If you want to get fancy, sprinkle some cheddar cheese on top for an extra creamy finish.
