Stupid simple (and delicious) protein prep
Monday morning. You’re busy. But what’s for dinner?
I know you don’t have time to grill a steak, bake chicken, or cook taco meat every night.
That’s why prepping protein in bulk once or twice a week is a game-changer. It keeps you on track with your goals—and out of the DoorDash app.
One of our go-to meal preps? Buffalo Chicken. It’s quick, delicious, healthy, and easy to clean up.
Here’s how to make it:
Buffalo Chicken (Slow Cooker Edition)
1️⃣ Get a slow cooker. If you don’t have one, it’s worth it. We keep a small, low-tech one in the Airstream—like this one.
2️⃣ Prep the chicken. Grab a pack of chicken breasts and/or thighs. Trim off the extra fat, cut the breasts into ~2” chunks, and toss them in the slow cooker. We usually do 2-3 lbs at a time.
3️⃣ Sauce it up. Pour Buffalo wing sauce (not regular hot sauce) over the chicken. We use:
⅓ bottle of Frank’s Regular Buffalo Wing Sauce
¼ bottle of Frank’s Hot Buffalo Wing Sauce
4️⃣ Let it cook. Set to high for 3 hours—plenty of time to get in a workout, walk the dog, and catch our podcast.
5️⃣ Shred it. A meat chopper makes this ridiculously easy. Twist, shred, done.
6️⃣ Enjoy! Use it for tacos, a sandwich, or throw it in a bowl with beans, rice, avocado, tomatoes, and bell peppers.
Simple. Healthy. And best of all… Delicious.
