    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    This Shredded Buffalo Chicken Salad is a Whole30 Friendly, easy, and delicious chicken salad.

    It is perfect for meal prep and can be served a couple different ways depending on what you feel like.

    WHole30 shredded buffalo chicken

    You can make the chicken ahead of time in the instant pot, on the stove top, or use shredded rotisserie chicken.

    If you are doing a whole30 make sure the brands you are using are whole30 compliant. If you aren’t concerned with that feel free to use any of your favorite sauces!

    Ingredients:

    • 2 cups shredded chicken
      • I make shredded chicken in the instant pot to be sure it's whole30 compliant. You could also use rotisserie chicken or canned chicken.
    • 3 tablespoons mild or medium buffalo sauce
      • I like the brand The New Primal for whole30
    • 1 tablespoon ranch dressing
      • check for whole30 compliant brands like The New Primal or Primal Kitchen
    • 1 tbsp mayonnaise
      • look for one made with olive oil or avocado oil
    • ½ tsp onion salt
    • ½ tsp dried chives
    • ½ tsp celery seed
    • ¼ tsp dried dill

    optional additions:

    • diced red onion
    • chopped celery
    • shredded carrots

    substitutions:

    no celery seed? use 1 stalk celery diced

    no chives? add green onion

    How to make:

    mixing shredded buffalo chicken

    1.       Cook chicken using your favorite method ( I love using the instant pot!) and shred the chicken.

    2.       Mix with buffalo sauce, ranch, and spices. Allow to set for about 10 minutes in the refrigerator.

    3.       Serve in butter lettuce as a wrap if making whole30 shredded buffalo chicken or in a regular wrap if not!

    Serving options:

    Over a bed of arugula with red onion and an extra drizzle of ranch

    In a wrap of romaine or butter lettuce

    If not whole30 serve in a tortilla wrap of choice

    Curious how to make shredded chicken in the instant pot?

    • Add 1  cup of chicken broth to instant pot, 3-4 chicken breasts and pressure cook on high for 11 minutes.
    • Quick release steam and then shred chicken with 2 forks or using a handheld mixer.

    What are your favorite ways to use shredded chicken? I love to use it an any sort of Buddha Bowl!
