Ingredients
  

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1 (17.5 fluid ounce) bottle Buffalo wing sauce, divided
  • ½ (1 ounce) package dry ranch salad dressing mix
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 6 hoagie rolls, split lengthwise

Instructions
 

  • Gather all ingredients and have them ready to go.
  • Place the chicken breasts in your slow cooker, then pour in ¾ of the Buffalo wing sauce. Sprinkle the ranch dressing mix evenly over the chicken.
  • Cover and cook the chicken on Low for 6 to 7 hours. By the end, the chicken should be tender enough to shred easily with a fork.
  • Using two forks, shred the cooked chicken directly in the slow cooker. Mix everything well to coat the chicken in the sauce.
  • Stir in the butter until melted and fully incorporated. This step adds a touch of richness to the sauce.
  • Assemble the sandwiches: Pile the shredded chicken mixture onto the split hoagie rolls.
  • Serve each sandwich with the remaining Buffalo sauce on the side for drizzling or dipping.
