"Awesome Food Day "

You can thank my husband for the title of this post. He called today an "awesome food day " because i'm actually making him food. Yummo food. We'll the food i'm making  i've never had. It's a pinterest find , but it smells amazing. I'm making him Crock pot Chicken Taco Chilli. He's making us a lunch of steaks. So for him this is a pretty awesome food day. That will be posted about in maybe 7 hours when dinner is actually done.

This post is for my mamma. I told everyone i'd be blogging about my budget meals. Meaning $5 or less per meal. This meal was the first budget meal I made and I just never got around to blogging about it so Here it goes :)

CROCK POT BUFFALO CHICKEN

3-LB bag of Frozen Chicken (I used boneless chicken breasts like 4 of them)
Franks Red hot wings buffalo sauce 
Packet of hidden valley ranch dip mix
2 Tbsp butter

That's all the ingredients. Seriously. 

  1. Put frozen Chicken and the ranch mix into your crock pot
  2. Cook on low 6-7 hours. 
  3. Shred chicken and add return to crock pot ( I used forks but you can use your mixer too
  4. Add butter. And don't be like me and forget this step. There is a difference.
  5. cook on low for another hour
I actually cooked this on High for like 4 hours. Because i'm impatient. Also like I said I totally forgot about the butter and it ended up being pretty spicy. For me. Gregg says the butter probably would've made the taste a bit milder. ( I've heard of people whose 1yr olds eat this like crazy , so it's not supposed to be super spicy. I guess.) 

The actual ingredients cost a little bit more than $5 depending on how much chicken you're getting and such , but It lasted Gregg and I a good 2 weeks so overall when you break it down by how long it lasted , it was actually pretty cheap. 

And that is the delicious Buffalo Chicken.
