Honestly, I have no idea why it’s taken me so long to share my favorite shredded buffalo chicken recipe with y’all. It’s one of my favorites and one of the easiest. I love finding meals I can throw into the crock pot and not worry about until I get home and this is definitely one of those recipes.

Last Thursday I hosted bunco. Yes, I promise I’m not 75. We’re on our second or third year and it’s always fun to get together once a month to play. I’ve won once, but did get a bunco last weekend, so that was fun! My partner and I had the most losses though…embarrassing? Maybe. But I thought it was pretty impressive.

Our bunco group decided to start serving dinner this year. I knew I wanted to do something easy and Whole30 compliant, so I decided on shredded buffalo chicken to put on top of potatoes or a bed of spinach. I also made homemade ranch, served veggies and watermelon. I think dinner was a hit! Especially for those who don’t do whole30.

Oh and if you play Bunco, I’ve made some score trackers and game cards to download. Enjoy!
