Equipment

Ingredients

Instructions
For the Chicken
- Place chicken breasts in slow cooker and add ½ C buffalo sauce. Cook on low for 2-3 hours until center of each breast has reached 165°F.
- When chicken is cooked, remove and shred with 2 forks.
- Pour out most of liquid in slow cooker, reserving 1 cup.
- Place shredded chicken back into slow cooker and add ½ C buffalo sauce and add cooking juices until all the chicken is juicy.
For the Blue Cheese Slaw
- Combine 6 cups (about ½ a large bag) of coleslaw with ⅓ cup of blue cheese dressing and mix to combine. Feel free to add more dressing to taste.
Build your Burgers
- Turn on broiler to high.
- Open up hamburger buns and place center side up on a baking sheet. Place 1 slice of mozzarella on one side of each pair of buns. Toast in the oven until cheese has melted and buns are slightly toasted. Remove from oven.
- On top of the bottom of the bun, pile warm buffalo chicken. Top it off with blue cheese cole slaw.
- I like to add a little extra buffalo sauce for some extra heat. Feel free to add sauces to taste!
