Ingredients
2 Tbsp buttermilk powder ($0.15)
1/2 tsp dried parsley ($0.05)
1/4 tsp dried dill ($0.03)
1/4 tsp onion powder ($0.02)
1/8 tsp garlic powder ($0.02)
1/4 tsp lemon pepper ($0.02)
1/8 tsp sugar ($0.01)
1/8 tsp salt ($0.01)
1/8 tsp freshly cracked black pepper ($0.01)
12 oz. hot sauce** ($2.19)
2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts ($5.34)
4 Tbsp butter ($0.40)
Instructions
1Combine the ranch seasoning (buttermilk powder, parsley, dill, onion powder, garlic powder, lemon pepper, sugar, salt, and pepper) and hot sauce in a bowl.
2Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of a 3 quart or larger slow cooker. Cut the butter into chunks and place the butter on top of the chicken. Pour the hot sauce mixture over the chicken and butter.
3Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on low heat for four hours. After four hours, use two forks to shred the chicken (if it's not tender enough to shred yet, let it cook a little longer).
4Serve the shredded chicken and sauce on sandwiches, in quesadillas, on top of nachos or salads, or as a dip for crackers and chips.
