Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Tacos
My husband has been putting in his Super Bowl menu requests for a week now. Not to my surprise, he requested “some type of buffalo chicken recipe.” The guy loves his buffalo chicken! I always try to come up with new buffalo recipes for him like my buffalo chicken dip or buffalo chicken bites. Truth be told, I’m not personally a big fan of buffalo sauce. Same with BBQ sauce. I’m actually shocked we are still married because I think I’m seriously in the minority on these important issues!
When it comes to tacos though, I can always get down! And yes, this includes buffalo chicken tacos. This recipe is ridiculously easy. First, you just need to pull out your slow cooker. Then toss in some chicken, broth, buffalo sauce, and garlic powder and let it cook for a few hours. This recipe is perfect for easy family dinners and it would be great for making for the Super Bowl if you want to double the recipe for a crowd.
I didn’t use a ton of buffalo sauce, just enough to get the flavor so I’d recommend having extra buffalo sauce on the side for those that want it. The toppings are endless too. You can add blue cheese or any traditional taco toppings. Oh, and if you want another idea, you can also put the chicken onto buns or sliders if you don’t want to go the taco route!
