This Slow Cooker Creamy Buffalo Chicken never disappoints! This chicken recipe is packed full of flavor. It’s easy, creamy, delicious and so versatile!
This chicken is INSANELY good! It’s spicy and flavorful and the sauce is silky and creamy.
It’s also simple to make. Let the slow cooker do the work. All you do is place the chicken in the slow cooker with Italian seasoning, cream cheese, and buffalo wing sauce. Turn the slow cooker on and wait. When the chicken is perfectly cooked and juicy, shred the chicken and whisk the sauce until it’s smooth. Serve and watch your family’s faces light up.
Slow Cooker Creamy Buffalo Chicken
- You can use bone-in breast or chicken thighs for this recipe. Allow longer to cook. You’ll have to test the chicken. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the chicken.
- For the packet of Italian Salad Dressing mix, you do not make the salad dressing. Use the seasoning only.
- As well, you can use Ranch seasoning mix. I prefer Italian, but both are good.
- Please keep in mind that nutritional information is a rough estimate and can vary based on products used.
- Finally, I used Frank’s Wing Sauce. You can use a regular hot sauce instead of a wing sauce, but taste test it first and/or reduce the amount you use. It may be extremely hot.
Slow Cooker Creamy Buffalo Chicken is a versatile and easy family favorite meal. We like to eat it plain with a side salad. It’s also good in a wrap, on tortilla chips, or on hamburger buns.

One box of Italian salad dressing mix contains 4 Each – 0.7 ounce packets. Are you sure we should use the whole box based on your directions? The sodium level per serving at 2,303 mg is really concerning. Thoughts? Thank you!
Paula says
No, that should be 1 pack or one .7 ounces pack/envelope
So sorry for that error, thanks for pointing it out!
