What should I serve with shredded Buffalo Chicken?

This meal is fantastic as a topping to a salad or served in a lettuce wrap. We also like to serve as a buffalo chicken dip with celery sticks and ranch dressing. You could also wrap in a low carb tortilla and either have easy Buffalo Chicken tacos or pop into the Air Fryer for a delicious Air Fryer Quesadilla!

Tips for this Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken

• I recommend cubing the cream cheese versus adding it as a block. It will melt more evenly and be easier to spread in the sauce.
• If you have family members that are more sensitive to spice than others, you can prepare this chicken with a smaller amount of buffalo sauce. When those who want more of a kick to their meal are ready to eat, they can top theirs with extra sauce!
• I personally prefer cooking this chicken on low and letting it slowly cook all day. If you are short on time, you could cook this meal on high for 4 hours.

Is this good for keto meal prep?
