Fact: my husband loves to eat.
Fact: I don’t love to cook.
It’s not that I hate it, it’s just that I have too much of my mother in me to enjoy spending 3 hours in the kitchen for something that will be devoured in 3 minutes. I’ll never have any gourmet recipes to share with you.
As much as I love the crockpot, I don’t want soup {or soup-ish food} every night. So I’m kinda picky when it comes to the crockpot.
I can’t take any credit for this recipe… but I can share it. It was given to me by a friend at work when I commented on being in a dinner rut. {I cook the same few recipes on repeat.}
Ingredients:
4 frozen chicken breasts
2 hamburger buns
Buffalo sauce {1 bottle}
Sliced provolone cheese {or pepper jack, in this case}
Morning:
Put 4 frozen chicken breasts in crock pot
Fill with water
Set to keep warm and leave all day
Evening:
When I get home from work, the chicken looks like this
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Shred/dice chicken
Place shredded chicken in separate bowl and cover with buffalo sauce
I’ve used both of these sauces
Stir chicken until it’s covered
Place sauce-covered chicken on open-faced bun
Place cheese on top {I think provolone is standard with a buffalo chicken sandwich but I didn’t have any so I used pepper jack, which is my favorite}
Bake for 2-3 minutes or until cheese is melted
Remove & serve
Ready to go in less than 15 minutes. Doesn’t get any better than that.
The very first time I made these, I told David, “I hope you like this because they’re really easy so they’re about to get added to the rotation.” I made it a couple of weeks ago when I had open house at school and knew I’d be home late. David thought it was hilarious that I was taking pictures of each step {he’s still getting used to the blog idea}.
So, he decided to add his own. “Blog that!”
{Disregard the terrible hair in this picture. It was a long day and I had to get it out of my face!}
I posted this recipe last week and the pictures showed up as blue question marks so if you saw it then, sorry for the repeat. It’s a fairly new recipe to me but doesn’t count as my “new” recipe this month. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
I’m obviously cooking this for two but I’ve also done it on a much larger scale when we’re at the beach with my family. So, if you’ve got a whole crew, just double, triple or quadruple everything. We usually get 1-2 leftover meals out of this.
