Ingredients in meal prep shredded buffalo chicken

Onions

Whenever I am cooking flavored chicken in my pressure cooker, I like to add a layer of roughly chopped onions to the bottom just to prevent any potential burning. However, it’s not necessary!

Chicken Breast

I typically meal prep fresh chicken breast, but chicken thighs would also work well. Just make sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly. Sometimes I will cube chicken into bite-sized pieces before pressure cooking (like in my teriyaki chicken recipe), but I prefer to keep the chicken breast whole with the buffalo flavor.

Chicken Broth

Adding a little bit of chicken broth helps the pressure cooking process and also tones down some of the buffalo spice.

Buffalo Sauce

I like to use a buffalo wing sauce like Frank’s or a comparable generic store brand. Make sure to check your nutrition labels because some wing sauces will creep up in added fat!

Make my buffalo shredded chicken a balanced meal

I mainly use this buffalo shredded chicken in a toasted wrap or quesadilla because it pairs well with some mozzarella and/or blue cheese. I also like to add some shredded cabbage for additional texture + nutrients. Try plating it with some carrots and celery + greek yogurt ranch dip. To make the ranch dip, all you need to do is mix 1 cup of plain whole milk greek yogurt with 2-3 tbsp of dry ranch seasoning or however much needed to suit your taste. Yum!

It’s no surprise that I am constantly using my Ninja Foodie Pressure Cooker when it comes to meal prepping. If you enjoyed this recipe, then you need to check out my other pressure cooker recipes!
