Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches with Bleu Cheese Coleslaw

I really should stop posting our favorite easy recipes because then I won't have anything to feed you when you come to visit...We serve this meat with bleu cheese coleslaw on sandwich rolls or hamburger buns with sweet potato fries. We have also used the meat for buffalo chicken salad- another super easy tasty meal. Ya, I am OBSESSED with buffalo chicken anything.

Buffalo Chicken 

This can easily be double but this is how much I generally make for our family (Mike and I) with enough for leftovers for lunch the next day.
  •  4 (frozen) chicken breasts
  • 1/3 (or more) bottle Wing Sauce (we like Frank's best)
  • 1/2 package Ranch Dressing Mix
Add all ingredients to crock pot and cook on low for 4 hours (more or less depending on how hot your crock pot cooks and whether your chicken is fresh or froze and tenders or breasts). Shred chicken and add back into sauce (I leave a bit out for the kids because adding it back to the sauce does add a bit of a kick). If you like really spicy, you can use a spicier hot sauce or closer to 1/2 bottle (or more). We generally are liking to please all taste buds so this is the way we do it.  Also, I have used regular ranch as opposed to the packet and it has worked fine and omitted the ranch altogether.  I still like the results best with the ingredients listed above. Serve with extra hot sauce/wing sauce on the side.

Bleu Cheese Coleslaw
  • 1 (16 oz)package shredded coleslaw mix
  •   4-6 stalks celery, thinly sliced (we don't love a ton of celery so we usually do 4)
  • 4 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/3 mayonaisse
  • 1-2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2-1 cup bleu cheese (sometimes we serve blue cheese separately so people can add as much or little as they want)
  • salt and pepper to taste
Mix coleslaw mix, green onions and celery together. In a different bowl mix together mayo, lemon juice and salt and pepper together. Mix together, add bleu cheese (if desired). Taste and add more salt and pepper/lemon juice/etc. as desired.
