Buffalo Joes (Buffalo Chicken Sloppy Joes Recipe)

I really like Buffalo sauce.  I was in the mood for it, but I never have chicken wings or any of that type stuff on hand.  So I came up with the idea to make Chicken Sloppy Joes–buffalo style.  I call them BUFFALO JOES.   And yes, my kidlets liked them (even Baby Girl–very shocking).

And like most of my recipes (because I sometimes think cooking is a big pain) it’s done in my slow cooker and is EASY.

Here’s whatcha do:

 You need your favorite Buffalo Sauce.  I use Frank’s.


Place 1-2 lbs of frozen chicken tenderloins in the slow cooker.  Smother with sauce.  I used at least 1/2 the bottle (you can always add more if needed).

 Let it slow cook for 4-6 hours.  When chicken is cooked, shred it and let it simmer some more.  You may want to drain a little of the water out.


My Man makes AMAZING sour dough bread . . . so he made some sourdough rolls to be the buns for our Buffalo Joes.  You can use ANY bread or bun you like though.


Put some blue cheese crumbles on your bun and then scoop the chicken on top.
I’m trying to eat lighter, so we used this Laughing Cow Blue Cheese Spread and smeared it on the bun.  It was YUMMY.

Add EXTRA Buffalo Sauce and you’re good to go.
Hope this satisfies your Buffalo and Blue Cheese craving.

Buffalo Joes

1 lb chicken breast tenderloins
1/2 bottle of Frank’s Buffalo Sauce
1-3 Laughing Cow Blue Cheese Spread

Favorite buns or rolls

Place chicken in slow cooker.  Smother with Buffalo Sauce.  Let cook for 4-6 hours.  Shred the chicken and drain out excess water.  Put cheese on the bun.  Top with buffalo chicken and extra sauce.  Enjoy!

I left satisfied and had a fun time with my hubby and our friends. 

Purchase tickets online. Seating is first come, first served so arrive early if you want a certain seat (though there isn’t a bad seat at all). Let me know if you try this!

Date night with my hubby @amctheatres to see @thes Date night with my hubby @amctheatres to see @thesheepdetectives … Fun, quirky movie, (kinda like Babe but really like no other movie I’ve seen before). Definitely full of kid vibes but adults will like it too. A who-dun-it mystery. We laughed out loud a lot more than we expected!

Are you wondering if the Thanksgiving Point Festiv Are you wondering if the Thanksgiving Point Festival is worth visiting this year? Here’s a look at what we saw today. 

We’ve had a lot of up and down weather so I wasn’t surprised to find a lot of the tulips already finishing up their season on April 23. BUT we still found quite a few areas with some big, beautiful blooms and it was a peaceful walk with less crowds. There were signs reminding us that more tulips were going to be blooming soon, so maybe wait a week or so if you want to see those new tulips. 

Thank you @utahstulipfestival for a fun visit! @thankspoint @theashtongardens #tulipfestival #utahtulipfestival #tulipseason #springinutah #traveltips
DO. NOT. MISS. THIS. Peter Pan Goes Wrong @halecen DO. NOT. MISS. THIS. Peter Pan Goes Wrong @halecentretheatre I laughed until I cried!

Valentine’s Day with my man at the NEW Miller Fami Valentine’s Day with my man at the NEW Miller Family Beehive Stage @halecentretheatre . It’s was the perfect day to see a rom com and my hubby was a good sport to see a play called “Hallmarked” (NOT his favorite play so far). The play definitely lives up to its name—lots of predictable moments, plot holes, and cheesy lines. 🫤 But when it makes fun of itself, you will laugh and leave feeling lighthearted.
Leave your questions in the comments section if you want to more of my thoughts about this new play. #halecentertheater #thingstodoinutah #emptynesterlife #valentinesdaydate #familytravelideas
