Buffalo Chicken Poboys

Buffalo Chicken Poboys

( I got the recipe for the french fries pictured above here:  http://allrecipes.com/recipe/50223/homemade-crispy-seasoned-french-fries/  These are the best homemade french fries I have ever made! I highly recommend that you check the recipe out and give it a try!  They were so crispy and so delicious. Not to take away anything from the recipe, I believe it is fabulous just as is, but here in the South, we like our food heavily seasoned and every home has a can of Tony's Creole Seasoning at the table.  So, based on personal preference only, I will probably add an additional tsp of Tony's and seasoned salt to the batter next time. I also used 1 cup of water in my batter and that worked out just right.)

Life is busy. Trust me, I totally get it. Between work, school, shuffling kids to dance practice, and football practice, the endless piles of laundry, there's just no stopping. Who has the time and energy to spend all day slaving over a hot stove? And cleanup---sheesh! Ain't nobody got time for that! But, everybody loves to come home to a hot, home cooked meal. That's why this is the dish for you, my busy friend. 

This recipe is so simple, this will be a short tutorial. But, the simplicity of this dish isn't the biggest perk of this meal for me. Being a frugal mom with five mouths to feed (including my hubby and I), I love how cheap this meal is to make! A mere eight bucks feeds my entire family, with leftovers. 

So, let's jump right into it. Time's a wastin'!

Once you've slurped down that cup of coffee and stumbled out of the shower, the rat race begins. As you're racing around getting ready for the day, just don't forget to do one thing:  Put 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the crockpot on low heat. Add in 2 TBS butter, 1/2 tsp. paprika, 1 tsp. onion powder, 1/4 tsp. salt, 1/8 tsp. Cheyenne pepper, 1/8 tsp. garlic powder, and 1/4 cup Louisiana Hit Sauce (http://www.louisiana-brand.com). Put the lid on that bad boy and get to work! 

Eight hours later, when you return from work, supper is ready. All you have left to do is shred the chicken. 

It soaks up all that great flavor from the juices it's cooked in. 

For my poboys, I toasted my poboy buns, spread ranch dressing in both sides of my bread, then I added the chicken and shredded lettuce. My daughter likes hers with pickle. I'm sure you could add on crumbled blue cheese, or anything you would like. 

See what I mean? It's so quick, so easy, so cheap, so delicious! Keep this recipe close. You will make this again, and again. 

Here's that recipe one last time:
